A nice film, a bit voyeuristic, certainly very personal. Williams was excellent. The question is, do we really want to know these things... Even after her death I think Marilyn has some right to privacy. And I felt like I was intruding. Yes it was a good film, great costumes, great sets, well acted, but it felt an awful lot like tabloid gossip. Another beef is that anyone can watch a Monroe film and realize that there is, was, or has been no one like her, and although Williams is excellent, she isn't Marilyn. She's a fake, not because she isn't a good actress, simply because Ms Monroe was one in lifetime. I recently watched an old film staring the real MM, the film wasn't all that good, but she was captivating. She had something that isn't replicable. And that goes up against any MM impersonator. I'd question if even the great Meryl Streep could get it right. But don't let that detract you from this excellent film. It was truly entertaining, and a very personal film. Cheers and Blessings, Max Rainet. **If you found this information at all helpful, please take a moment to select the "yes" button below.

based on two books by writer and filmmaker colin clark, the movie tells of an alleged affair between clark and the starlet. the movie is set during the filming of marilyn's 1957 romantic comedy the prince and the showgirl, and depicts clark (eddie redmayne) an assistant director on the picture forming and increasingly intimate relationship with the trouble starlet. it also spends a good deal of time detailing oliver's frustrations with marilyn. as the director of prince and a workmanlike artist in his own right, olivier can't stand the fact the marilyn faces on emotional collapse after another, placing the movie in jeopardy. this was a pretty good movie about marilyn monroe and worth picking up and watch
5 Stars This turned out to be a "Perfect" opportunity for Michelle Williams to shine. She has a connected with Marilyn Monroe's spirit. There were moments that i thought that she was Marilyn. Eddie Redmayne was the perfect person to enhance her part. The entire cast were "Perfect" in their execution of this film and thus 5 STARS.

I should say every man's fantasy from the era when Marilyn Monroe was becoming the top Sex Icon of the silver screen.
