S*** was pretty mid, but tbf it's based on a s***ty edgy fan fic book
why dominik didn't just do a good biopic is anyone's guess
90% of her dialogue is either "DADDY!" or "I DONT WANT TO GO BACK!!" s*** was mad repetitive and way too long considering how intentionally incoherent it was and was just a hodge podge of scenes and events
Unexpectedly great film

Daddy
marilyn is literally ALWAYS reduced to a s***symbol and a tragedy tho. he's not bringing anything new to the table, since this is the overarching narrative people paint of her all the time. he's just perpetuating this to new extremes. it's a necrophilic obsession.
focusing on her actual life, her career, her politics and her choices would've been the original and fresh decision, but he was very adamant about only focusing on suffering:

wait so this not even an actual biopic?

man I hate when "biopics" do this

Nope, like they said it’s based on an edgy fiction story version of Marilyn’s life and her iconography.
Turns up the objectification and trauma and sexuality and everything up to 11, making a statement on her and celebrity as a whole etc
It’s not being touted as a biopic anywhere but it’s still misleading a fair amount of people
@grimes u seen this yet?
nah gonna really try 2 peep this weekend, been super busy lately which has left me out of the discourse!!
Wtf was this movie?
I was super hyped for this, but
What was with the talking baby fetus? Is this a pro life movie?
The movie was almost 3 hours and it went nowhere. Same s*** with different guys.
“Daddy”
The ratio changes were annoying. I know they wanted the scenes to match the photos in real life, but it did nothing.
Some cool shots.
My man Dominik dropped a stinker with this one.

What would be original about making a generic biopic?
Turned this s*** off after her mother tried to drown her, this s*** is edgy misery p*** for the sake of it

So like 10 minutes in

Watch Irreversible as a palate cleanser
I need Dominik to do a horror ngl
The dream where she was being snatched up by Secret Service agents was too good to limit to 5 minutes
Even though I didn’t personally enjoy this movie, it’s probably the only one I’ve seen all year that actually felt like a true artistic expression in a way that didn’t feel like it was trying to get validation from anybody. Aka what cinema is supposed to be.
So I’ll always commend Dominik for trying to make something real in an era of fake
This was a fantastic read though t.co/Eqyn5dyfAY
