Netflix’s Marilyn Monroe Movie Gets Adults-Only Rating

Netflix’s Marilyn Monroe biopic ‘Blonde’ officially gets an adults-only rating. The movie stars Ana de Armas as the iconic actress and model. It was given the rare adults-only rating for “some sexual content” by the Motion Picture Association on Wednesday.

Director Andrew Dominik has already predicted that it would get an NC-17. He said, “It’s a demanding movie. If the audience doesn’t like it, that’s the fucking audience’s problem. It’s not running for public office. It’s an NC-17 movie about Marilyn Monroe, it’s kind of what you want, right? I want to go and see the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story.”

The director also said Netflix “insisted” on hiring editor Jennifer Lame (Tenet) “to curb the excesses of the movie,” which includes a rape scene that was also in Oates’ book.
