I reckon this might be my favourite effort

I reckon this might be my favourite effort from Michelle Williams as she plays the eponymous screen legend who arrives in the UK to play opposite Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) in "The Prince and the Showgirl". Meantime, budding writer Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) is desparate to get into the film industry and so has been doorstepping producer Hugh Perceval (Michael Kitchen) for ages. Eventually, he gets a foot in the door the a chance introduction to Sir Larry leads to another one with Monroe and soon young Clark finds himself tasked with keeping this increasingly flaky woman on message as it's fair to say that her methods are not quite as rigorous or disciplined as those of her co-star. If you've seen the 1957 film, you'll know that it possibly isn't anyone's finest hour - except, perhaps, for Dame Sybil Thorndyke who here portrayed by Dame Judi Dench offers the American visitor some semblance of understanding and tolerance as tempers fray and the relationship between Colin and Marilyn starts to intensify. The narrative is based on Clark's two books on the subject, so it does offer us quite an authentic and sensitive insight into just how that one week padded out; how these contrasting personalities and their working practices struggled to reconcile and Williams looks entirely comfortable as the troubled actress as does the uncannily made-up Branagh as an Olivier all too used to getting his own way. Redmayne makes surprisingly little impact - perhaps because his character must remain objective as a narrator and not unsurprisingly Clark wasn't keen on embellishing his own role - intimate or not - with Monroe. Both she and Olivier are fascination creatures in cinema history and this biopic presents us with a glimpse of just how creative clashes can result in a positive spark.

Good Movie- Nice Period Piece

I liked this movie, it was a non-judgemental re-telling of a slice of history. I thought the performances were all very good by the leading characters. I have no idea what the real Marilyn was like and I don't think many people do, but Michelle Williams character is a more than plausible interpretation, vulnerable at times, manipulative at others, who really knows where the reality lies, but there was something for everyone's interpretation. The movie did a good job of depicting that moment in time and transporting the audience there for a couple of hours. I guess it is every man's fantasy to have this opportunity, so the story is a satisfying one for any man who has ever wondered what the real Marilyn may have been like.

Carefully Crafted Historically

"My Week with Marilyn" is entertaining and sufficiently well done to interest anyone who remembers her story. But those who have some exposure to the literature she has generated should be impressed by the way the film manages to represent so many of the very different views there are about her. Was she a smart, predatory woman in control of her persona and milking it for all she could get? The sad addicted victim of her handlers? An ordinary woman looking for love and happiness derailed by her own star quality? The movie represents all of these views and refuses to settle the question. The writer and director are to be congratulated for resisting the temptation to come down on a particular view.
