A week with marilyn, yet a timeless impression



My Week With Marilyn

This film will be loved by you. Michelle Williams gives an incredible performance as Ms. Munroe. Like the scarlet, she magnetises us with her voice and expressions. The Marilyn portrayed in the film is not the sassy and extrovert Hollywood sweetheart but Norma Baker, stripped of her persona and ridden with insecurities.This is drama of the highest quality, Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench help to ensure this. Equally, infatuated Eddie Redmayne who plays Colin Clark, the film set worker Munroe has an affair with. His own charm leaves audiences in as much awe as Marilyn. We can completely empathise with him; his stuttering in his first encounters with Marilyn; his sincere affection towards this fragile star and the astonishment at being singled out by your pin-up. The drawn out delay before their romance blossoms leaves the viewer in constant anticipation. The first kiss is exhilarating as their suppressed emotions come to the surface. Marilyn’s tantrums and tears remind us sadly that they are two worlds apart. Despite the end of Marilyn and Clark’s relationship being inevitable, this drama is devoid of any cliques. Melancholy yet beautiful, their short and sweet romance is unforgettable.
