Based on the bestselling novel by Joyce Carol Oates, BLONDE opens Friday for an exclusive one week theatrical engagment!

BLONDE boldly reimagines the life of one of Hollywood's most enduring icons, Marilyn Monroe. From her volatile childhood as Norma Jeane, through her rise to stardom and romantic entanglements, Blonde blurs the lines of fact and fiction to explore the widening split between her public and private selves.

"Features a stunning, volatile performance from Ana de Armas, whose daring vulnerability is matched by director Andrew Dominik’s equally daring formal approach, which keeps Marilyn in constant conversation with the camera, and with the public at large." - IGN Movies
