Blonde, the new Netflix Marilyn Monroe film, belongs to what one might term the Oliver Stone school of biopics—interesting at times, but absolutely unhinged in its relationship to reality. A Kennedy hit squad forcibly aborting a JFK/Monroe love child and a bisexual throuple involving Monroe and the sons of two movie stars are just two of the bizarre additions to Monroe’s life that director Andrew Dominik made in his film.
