“Blonde” The film’s controversial content on topics like abortion and female empowerment was a reason why it was criticized from the beginning. Dominik shared his thoughts on why his biopic wasn’t embraced by the Hollywood community.

“Now we’re living in a time where it’s important to present women as empowered, and they want to reinvent Marilyn Monroe as an empowered woman. That’s what they want to see,” He said: according to The Hollywood Reporter. “And if you’re not showing them that, it upsets them.”

“Which is kind of strange, because she’s dead,” He continued. “The movie doesn’t make any difference in one way or another.”

Director argued that miscarriage scenes and abortion scenes were being scrutinized due to the political climate after Roe v. Wade was overturned.

“I think the movie is pretty nuanced actually, and I think it’s very complex, but that doesn’t fit — people are obviously concerned with losses of freedoms, obviously they are,” Dominik said following the film’s release. 

“They’ve got a certain agenda where they feel like the freedoms of women are being compromised, and they look at ‘Blonde’ and they see a demon, but it’s not really about that,” He went on. “I think it’s very difficult for people to step outside of the stories they carry inside themselves and see things of their own volition.”
