My Week With Marilyn (2011) is one of these films that you can’t resist watching. It consists of a good script based on the life of one of the most iconic and desired woman of all times. A woman that happen-to-be the Marilyn Monroe and with her complexity, still keeps us insatiate, hence we want to read more about her psychoanalysis, love affairs or poetry that she’s been writing.
Michelle Williams portrays her credibly and it’s a very smart move that the narrative doesn’t focus on her, but on geeky Colin Clark, so her appearance is measured and therefore – absolutely splendid.
The only shortcoming is a scene in Marilyn’s bedroom, when geeky CC claims how much he loves her and how they can get married and elope far away from the evil Pinewood Studios. But this is an inevitable cliché outcome of the fact that the script was based on CC’s memoirs that are probably spurious.
