The 1 Netflix show and movie right now are two of its most exploitative releases ever
As for the top-ranked movie that’s new on Netflix, unless you’ve been living under a rock then you’re no doubt aware that the Marilyn Monroe quasi-biopic is now streaming on the service. However, this reimagining of the life of the iconic starlet is one of the most god-awful Netflix releases I’ve ever watched — for reasons that are almost too numerous to spell out.
For starters, there are the multiple rapes, the scenes of abuse, and Marilyn shown performing a sex act on JFK who then proceeds to rape her, and that’s just barely scratching the surface. In my full review of, I note one of the most annoying things about it, which is that director Andrew Dominik may be trying to make some kind of statement about the evils that Marilyn experienced over the course of her life … while, paradoxically, forcing you to wallow in all of that evil.
