  Friendly reminder: Michelle Williams is the best American actress working today. Nobody comes close; she is a fucking godsend to contemporary cinema and we are very lucky to have her with us, gracing the silver screen on a timely basis. With that said, I turn my thoughts to My Week with Marilyn, Simon Curtis’ prosaic yet sprightly biopic of legendary Hollywood movie star Marilyn Monroe focusing on her 1957 collaboration with Shakespearean thespian-cum-filmmaker Laurence Olivier in The Prince and the Showgirl. It’s based on the memoirs of Colin Clark, Olivier’s third assistant director at the time who had a fleeting, wistful fling with the screen goddess during her stay in Britain. I often found myself questioning the veracity of some…

  michelle williams' performance as marilyn utterly dominates the film, her acting's spectacular; it's done with such compassion and believably. she nails monroe's smile, walk and mannerisms, all while managing to not drift into a caricature of her. it's a multilayered performance that goes further than simply just an impersonation; there's erratic mixtures of glamour and vulnerability, she fabulously evokes both the timid woman and the outlandish celebrity construct that was marilyn monroe

  why would you frame the story of one of the most fascinating actresses.... through a privileged white boy who spends a bit of time with her. i don’t get what would possess them to approach her story like this.

  A movie about Marilyn Monroe from the perspective of the most boring person on the planet. What a waste.

  I'm sorry Mr. Brannagh, I'm sure your performance was stunning, but I sort of missed it.

  Mrs Williams was far too busy channelling Marilyn.

  Which made me feel really funny inside.

  Are we all in agreement that is a completely unmemorable film save for Michelle Williams? She makes the most of every moment, even with how Wikipedia-bio this script felt. Imagine how incredible this would've been if she actually had something to sink her teeth into.

  Review by Rafael "Parker!!" Jovine ★★★½ 3

  Boasting with glam and flair along with some really great lead performances, this sort of biopic gives us a very good glimpse into a dark moment in the life of the iconic Marilyn Monroe at a point of her life when she was trying to become a serious actress, but can’t escape her own demons who constantly put her down. Though its nothing really new, seeing everything from a third party perspective made the movie much interesting as not only allowed us the audience to see things in a much broader way, but also helped making Monroe the mysterious figure in many she still remains today.

  Redmayne as Colin Clark was very good, he didn’t have much room to go…
