Blonde, the forthcoming Ana de Armas Netflix Marilyn Monroe film, will not be your typical biography. Director Andrew Dominik has recently commented about the picture earning an adult rating after it was issued with an NC-17 certification. The biopic is the first Netflix Original with an adult rating of NC-17.

So naturally, many people are wondering what the director had to say about his film’s rating. Well, Andrew recently addressed the matter, and let us take a look at what he had to say.

In a Q&A with Vulture published today, Dominik teased Blonde, calling the picture a small $22 million movie. And admitted he was astonished by the film’s mature rating.

Blonde was supposed to launch in 2020. However, it was pushed back to September 2022. While talking about his film, Dominik said that the film’s upcoming release is an intriguing moment.

He said so because he felt if it had come out immediately when MeToo happened, it would have been an expression of all those things. At the same time, talking about the film’s new adult rating. Dominik, even though earlier being angry about it, said that he understands it now.

He said, “it swims in very ambiguous waters because I don’t think it will be as cut-and-dried as people want to see it. There’s something in it to offend everyone.”

While further explaining the NC-17 certificate that the film has, Dominik went on to comment, “On the one hand, I think if I’m given the choice, I’d rather go and see the NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story. 

And when asked if Netflix will be worried about the film, he said, “Netflix is a big business with much bigger fish to fry than Blonde, in terms of where they spend their money.”

It will surely be an exciting film to watch now that Netflix and Andrew have chosen to keep the rating. Instead of opting to cut the scenes which are deemed inappropriate for younger audiences.
