My Week with Marilyn

Marilyn Monroe – her name is synonymous with sex symbol. So much so, that people will obviously watch this movie with preconceived notions of the starlet. Michelle Williams dives into this difficult role, and boy, does she deliver! I think she might walk away with the Best Actress Oscar. Everyone gets to see ordinary fragile girl who, like all of us, is looking for happiness.

That said, William’s performance is the movie’s only saving grace. Even though it is based on true events - a week that Monroe spent with a young man called Colin Clark who worked on the set of “The Prince and the Showgirl”, it is an anorexic representation.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
