Le Mystère Marilyn Monroe: Conversations inédites

This is a riveting and well-produced documentary of a fascinating story. The incredible thing is that it's a real story. "I would say that it was covered up because of her connection with the Kennedy Brothers." Only half of the reality. Clearly (from these accounts) Marilyn Monroe was dangled as an unwitting conduit to the highest offices of the US Government by the Soviets during the cold war. This connection was known by a very anti-communist FBI whose machine forced the Kennedy brothers to sever ties rapidly and cleanly. Marilyn--an ideal candidate to be dangled--was very insecure, emotionally susceptible, and in need of being needed, and she was unable to sustain the emotional quagmire she had gotten herself into. A last attempt on Robert Kennedy's part to try to intervene into her emotional break was unsuccessful. In times like this there is no recourse but to clean up a horrid mess that ensued. It happens more than we want to know. Kudos for this investigative reporter to put this story straight, though he dances too lightly around the Soviet involvement, mostly because he can't puncture that sphere. So, there it is. "She killed herself either intentionally or accidentally. This case is closed." That is true.

There's absolutely nothing you haven't seen or heard before about Marylin and the Kennedys. There's no new evidence to prove and affair. It's just tapes of people who knew her talking as actors lip sync. It's actually pretty boring.

Marilyn Monroe was beautiful, talented, smart and funny. She also had a lot of problems. She was a good actress and her best movie was Some Like It Hot. Who knows what would have happened to her if she hadn't gotten involved with the Kennedys. She had a history of drug and alcohol use too. This is a really good documentary. One worth watching.

Narratively this is absolutely all over the place. No structure, no new information, nothing revelatory at all. It careers around regurgitating stuff we already knew, hints at a few things but is such a mess it never even bothers to provide any real interesting information. Crap, even for Netflix.

Was dissappointed after new audio and footage still singing same old suicide song. Why can't anybody ever hold kennedys accountable for anything? She did not kill herself. The pills were not in her stomach, the blood pooling was on her back. Please someone tell the truth.
