Blonde (2022) Review!!

Synopsis – A fictionalized chronicle of the inner life of Marilyn Monroe. My Take – Though she passed away 60 years ago, Marilyn Monroe continues to be adored in the public. As a actress in 1950s Hollywood, Monroe single-handedly personified glamour, vulnerability and sensuality all together, behind all the untapped potential. A result of which the films in which she chose to star in continue to … Continue reading Blonde (2022) Review!!
