My Week with Marilyn (2011), Simon Curtis
4/5
A fascinating look at the life of major sex symbol and actress Marilyn Monroe. Michelle Williams as Marilyn is just stunning. The film delves into both the public persona and private aspects of her celebrity. It definitely draws attention to how much things have changed for celebrities since then. For example the scene where Marilyn goes out in town and has only a couple with her and gets mobbed, today celebrities have much more security. Based on a book, the story is beautifully focalised through the young Colin Clark's (Eddie Redmayne) real life experience with Marilyn. Michelle is just amazing down to all the little affectations and mannerisms exposing both Marilyn's beauty, sex appeal and vulnerability. Overall a really fascinating study of an intriguing star's life.
