Review of Love, Marilyn (2013) by Thomas W — 19 Feb 2014
A respectfully-made documentary featuring some current Hollywood A-listers -- Uma Thurman, Viola Davis, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Jennifer Ehle, Zoe Saldana, Hope Davis, Lindsay Lohan, Lili Taylor, Glenn Close and Elizabeth Banks -- reading poems, notes and letters of Marilyn's to give today's audience a glimpse of the actress' honest and insightful view on art, acting and the camera.
Her writing and musings reveal an intelligent thinker of compassionate sensibilities. Her words are accompanied by some from close friends and acquaintances read by the likes of Paul Giamatti, Ben Foster, Adrien Brody, F.
Murray Abraham and Jack Huston. Marilyn was loved by millions of fans around the world but she was afraid that she wasn't loved by those she loved most. I'm not sure if this is a love letter to Marilyn or one from her to her fans.
She may have never known or felt it during her short, sad and tragic life; but she was loved like few have been loved since.
