The full soundtrack for Netflix film Blonde has been released – check it out below.
Directed by Andrew Dominik and adapted from the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde stars Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe in a reimagining of her life.
A synopsis reads: “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.”
The film, which has divided many critics, also stars Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Xavier Samuel and Julianna Nicholson.

In a four-star review of Blonde, NME wrote: “It’s not an easy watch and there is a lingering sense of a film trying to have its cake and eat it. It underlines the point that Monroe’s acting prowess was overlooked without focusing on her craft…. But there’s a humanity to de Armas’ performance that cuts through the exploitation and by immersing us at the centre of her slowly shattering psyche, it’s an ambitious trespass against good taste.
“Like any effective horror, Blonde unsettles you long after the credits roll.”
