Review of My Week with Marilyn (2011) by Nikan A — 11 Sep 2013
Never Understood the Hate for " My Week With Marilyn " . I thought Michelle Williams was not only convincing as Marilyn Monroe , but actually nailed her role . She totally brought the attitude of Monroe to the screen for one more time . her scenes with the great Judi Dench (as Dame Sybil Thorndike) are unforgettable .
Kenneth Branagh was great as Sir Laurence Olivier . The praise he received for his portrayal was well-deserved . but his scenes , also bring the doubt about honestly in movie . How Historically true is " My Week with Marilyn " ? Sometimes Marilyn seems too naive . and They could have done a better Vivien Leigh. and Eddie Redmayne ... eh . No comment on him here . the movie goes down in the scenes when Michelle and Kenneth are absent and he is on his own . Redmayne just acts the way his character has to . so it didn't bother me that much .
Some movies are just made for the award season . these are movies of performances . (The Meh Iron Lady , also for 2011 awards season) but sometimes you can find a good example out of them : and I thought MWWM was ok .
