Marilyn’s last completed role was praised by Screen Rant‘s Atreyo Palit recently.
“The ‘Good For Her’ Cinematic Universe is a canon of film that celebrates female characters whose activities unsettle the patriarchy. Elements of moral ambiguity are common in these films, but movies can fit the criteria even if that’s not the case. Despite being a relatively modern concept, many old films can be considered to be a part of the canon.
A 1960s Western is the last kind of film you’d expect to uphold ‘Good For Her’ principles. Yet, buoyed by what is arguably Marilyn Monroe’s best performance ever, the movie unfolds through the eyes of Roslyn and uses a feminist lens to interrogate the idea of masculinity that Westerns popularised. Her arc’s satisfying conclusion accompanies the denunciation of violence.”
