Short description

During Marilyn Monroe’s (Oscar® Nominee Michelle Williams) first trip to London to film “The Prince and the Showgirl,” with Sir Laurence Olivier (Oscar® Nominee Kenneth Branagh), she befriends Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), an ambitious 23 year-old production assistant on the set. As their relationship progresses Colin’s focus shifts from making his way in the film business to rescuing her from the pressures of celebrity life. When Monroe’s new husband, playwright Arthur Miller, makes a brief trip to Paris, Clark takes the opportunity to introduce her to the world outside of Hollywood fame. Based on the true story by Colin Clark, this memoir describes a magical week in which Monroe opens herself up to a stranger and finds in him a confidant and an ally.

  Movies are a girls best friend

Lately the abanudance of biopic style films seem less focussed on anything other than accurate portrayels of the deceased – the characterisation takes always takes centre stage but in this case, it’s what makes the film great which isn’t a bad thing at all but we can be thankful that Simon Curtis builds a believable world for these larger than life characters to roam in.

  Monroe is Still Magical
Reviewed by Lance from Johannesburg on 28 February 2012
4 of 7 people found the following review helpful:

Decades after her prime, Ms monroe is still in her prime. The plot depicted the icon in her flawless beauty and made tangible her ability to capture a person in his entirety at the expense of everything else in his life. Ms Williams' protrayal of the multi-facted star was evident of her strong identification with Marylin. Sterling supporting roles from Dame Judy Dench in particular who played the part of the omni-benevolent matriarch with grace and guidance. I was hard-pressed not to embrace her as my grandmother.
