What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes fails to shed any new light on its subject, settling instead for yet another tawdry rehash of tragic events.

Danny Leigh Financial Times “Unheard”? Well, almost all the interviews here already turned up in the book, but this is technically true, unless someone read it to you aloud. Rated: 2/5 Jun 10, 2022 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) Totally empty. A bunch of runaround and buildup for nothing. May 10, 2022 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety In fact, it’s a very good film. May 7, 2022 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes is a decent documentary that sometimes seems sensationalised and a bit difficult to watch. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Rahul Desai News9 Live (India) A grave-exhuming documentary that lacks truth and technique. Jul 19, 2022 Full Review Hugo Hernández Valdivia Cinexcepción A podcast would have been, perhaps, a more consistent idea.

Cathy B First time greeting to know Marilyn. She was and is still a beautiful star Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review butterfly2507 i made it around 17mins in and am bored out of my mind. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/23 Full Review Bianca T It was extremely informative and cinematically well done. However there are some discovories mentioned that in my opinion were left un addressed in the film. For example, how the documentary ends on a interview voice clip that leaves you like wow! The documentary could have expanded more on that interview. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review John B Interesting overall to listen to the story that was presented, but still leaves it open and doesn't prove anything conclusively other than that the Kennedy's were involved. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/22 Full Review s r I saw it with family who were interested. It was tedious and didn't arrive to any real conclusions, other than there were some issues unresolved! It was on Netflix. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review jon s It doesn't add anything to the facts and/or established conspiracy theories surrounding Monroe's life and death. Stock footage of cassette players and grainy recreations of actors lip-syncing recorded conversations make for a boring documentary. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
