MY WEEK WITH MARILYN REVIEW

SHARE:

Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain) was absolutely captivating as Marilyn Monroe. She did not act the role as the stereotypical blonde bombshell as she was perceived to be. She made the role come to life, and really captured a real side of the superstar. Giving such a skilled performance makes this a truly enjoyable film to watch.

Based on two books by Colin Clarke in which he recalled making The Prince and the Show Girl and allegedly he had a fling with Marilyn Monroe during this time. Whether this happened or not is not really a central issue. Even if the story line is based on an idea or fantasy, it feels right, it feels like it happened.

Eddie Redmayne (The Other Boleyn Girl) portrays Colin as an ambitious young man eager to get into the movie business. He becomes close to Marilyn and takes her side when others get annoyed with her delays with her temper and refusing to learn lines which cause divisions and tension on set. To Colin, Marilyn is a goddess and he worships her even though he had already begun a romance with Lucy, a worker in the studio, played by Emma Watson.

Michelle Williams is undoubtedly the saving grace of this movie, she embodies the spirit of Marilyn Monroe being provocative without being overly sexual. She delicately approximates the movement, the voice and pain, so much so she brings out the real raw side of Marilyn as a troubled person. Her performance is really fluid and really glues the whole story together.

It is an interesting perspective on the life of the star, an outstanding performance and not a bad way to spend a few hours.
