Zack Sharf Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde,” starring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe, skyrocketed to the top of Netflix’s movie chart after its first day available to stream, but the NC-17 drama is leaving many subscribers outraged. The film may have been the talk of the Venice Film Festival with its 14-minute standing ovation, but critics and viewers are calling it “sexist,” “cruel” and “one of the most detestable movies” ever made. “Given all the indignities and horrors that Marilyn Monroe endured during her 36 years, it is a relief that she didn’t have to suffer through the vulgarities of ‘Blonde,’ the latest necrophiliac entertainment to exploit her,” wrote The New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis, who panned the movie in her review.

Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Like many of the fall film festivals, New York Film Festival had to mount its 2023 edition during the actors strike and without major stars like Emma Stone (“Poor Things”), Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore (“May December”) or Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal (“All of Us Strangers”) in attendance to promote their movies. So, NYFF’s artistic director Dennis Lim is relieved the annual celebration of cinema is returning in 2024 with business as usual.

The 2003 Oscars are coming under scrutiny by entertainment media ahead of Sunday's upcoming ceremony as the "creepiest" in history.

Don't Worry Darling BLASTED by critics: Olivia Wilde 'superciliously pinches ideas from other films'

The film has been the center of controversy including a rumored rift between director Olivia Wilde and leading actress Florence Pugh, a shake-up in the lead actor role involving Shia LaBeouf, and even Wilde famously being served custody papers while onstage promoting the film in front of an audience.And though the saying goes 'if it matters it produces controversy,' it doesn't seem to have worked in this instance.The early reviews for Don't Worry Darling are in after the premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Monday and the majority of them have been negative.Many of the critics blasted filmmaker Wilde, 38, for lack of originality and a rather predictable plot as many felt like her 28-year-old boyfriend was out of his depth in regards to his performance with some pointing out his accent.
