Some thoughts about Blonde. I suggest you not read them until you’ve seen the movie, not to avoid spoilers—I regret to inform you that the title character dies—but because I can’t bother with plot recaps for this fragmented movie. I’m just here to give impressions, for what they are worth now that the carcass has been picked clean.
