You know when you step into an art museum and you see art that makes no sense whatsoever and costs like $5.6 million and then think to yourself "what the hell is that" well poor things has moments of this throughout making this film crazy and very artistic.
The film was good overall and Emma Stone was excellent as Bella Baxter, 15 minutes within the film you realise how great Emma Stone is.
Perhaps the very different and wild parts in this film will make it not as enjoyable as you'd hope and harder to watch at times.
As for Mark Ruffalo and William Dafoe they are both unique and different but are great in their respected roles.

I'm a big fan of anything Alejandro González Iñárritu does, his films are usually around a rating of an 8 at least but for me, this one I'm giving a generous 6.
The film plays along nicely at times and gives me straight forward direction and understanding but then we get the artist side of Iñárritu that perhaps should of been left alone or left out of this film.
You're ahead in this film thinking it's a really good then throughout you find that you're actually one step behind.
The safer more generic and parts of the film are intriguing, they keep you content or even happy but then the 'moments' too many 'moments' we see are just too much for me.
Even understanding bits of the offbeat uneven track it makes for a difficult watch.
Saying all this I enjoyed big parts of the film but with the 'moments' it doesn't quite allow for me full enjoy the film entirely.

Many films come and go but with a precious few you should hold
on to.
Ok ok ok this film 'Blonde' shot beautifully with Ana De Armas portrayal and acting the bones out of Miss Monroe, these are the true positives about the film.
I get this won't be for all to see but it worked for me, I can see when a film is just brilliant or greatly made and this is greatly made and not a brilliant film but still a good one.
The film can seem long, disjointed.and extremely hard to watch at times but remember this is film making and not all films are meant to be fun.
That's the beauty of film!
Accept it's a film and have pleasure from seeing such a touching life story unfold before your eyes, Be emotional but not too sensitive at what you're seeing.
This is why I love Film.
Ok it's not truly great but I really took to it and appreciate it.
Overall a good film!
