Deeply divisive Monroe biopic 'Blonde' hits Netflix

Critics can't agree if 'Blonde' is an artistic tour de force or more exploitation of the 20th century icon

Destined to be one of the most divisive films of the year, Marilyn Monroe biopic "Blonde" finally lands on Netflix on Wednesday after more than a decade of troubled production.

Dominik spent 11 years trying to get the film made, and has credited the #MeToo movement against sexual assault with finally generating interest in the story -- though he reportedly fought long and hard with Netflix over long running time and graphic scenes.
