I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this movie. There have been many attempts at making a Movie about Marilyn and they have all failed miserably. I was prepared to be disappointed thoroughly. But not only was a delightfully surprised at every performance in this film but the imagery was spot on as well.
The brilliance of this film is it was about Marilyn but not a biopic of her life. It is all from the viewpoint of this gopher on a set in England, when Marilyn was doing a movie with Lawrence Oliver. So you see all facets of Marilyn, good and bad and learn about her without having to dredge into her entire life story.
The performances in this movie were simply outstanding. Michelle Williams was amazing and Kenneth Branagh gives, sincerely a perfect performance. If you love movies and you love Marilyn then go see this. You will see her as never before and get to see stunning visuals along the journey.
