as anything supposedly associated to marylin monroe’s life it sucks but i actually didn’t know that while watching this and i think i enjoyed it more that way. it can be a bit boring at times and is much too serious all the time but kim stanley is a powerhouse especially considering the material isn’t great

Felt like the material could've really been elevated by a great actress-director pairing. And unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
