My Week With Marilyn was absolutely amazing. Michelle Williams was stupendous in her performance as Marilyn Monroe. Every emotion, physical action, spoken word and soulful look of the eyes brought great life to her rendition of Norma Jean Mortenson as Marilyn. The cast was brilliantly chosen to give this tale of Colin Clark's memoirs of his time spent with her during The Prince and the Showgirl. Kenneth Branagh was fantastic as Sir Laurence Olivier. Judi Dench was perfectly chosen to portray Dame Sybil Thorndike. If you are a Marilyn fan of any sort, you will not be disappoiinted in the slightest. For those who were disappointed and saddened by the film... I feel for you. You obviously are not cultured in the life of Marilyn Monroe, the sexiest woman to ever grace the silver screen. If you're a fan of Marilyn Monroe, this is sure to appease your appetite. I give it 2 thumbs up and 5 Gold Stars! I am a VERY happy Marilyn enthusiast!

Saw this after Thanksgiving dinner with my guests. Everyone loved it. The title says it all, and it covers an interesting chapter in Marilyn's life. It gives us an insight into how vulnerable and frustrating she could be, and how she tried to battle her demons, while trying to manage the public persona with the real person she was. The cinematography is excellent, the acting is perfect, and the cast is excellent. Michelle not only resembles Marilyn, she has her gestures down pat, that at times, you forget you are not seeing the real Marilyn on screen. My sister was right. You will want to go out and either get the book to discover more, or will go out to rent "The Prince and The Showgirl" to compare the two movies. The buzz is right. Michelle deserves the award for best actress.

I thought the movie had great performances with Michelle Williams?who captured that sexy, charming, big-Hollywood-star way Marilyn had?Kenneth Branagh, and Eddie Redmayne, and of course Dame Judy Dench. There were very touching scenes, and it brought back vivid memories of a time long gone. The story did not move me as much as I expected, and the depth of the characters was just deep enough. But all in all, it was great to see this movie on the big screen.

This film, for me, was OUTSTANDING. It brought back alot of memories, for when I first saw THE PRIINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL, I was only 14. The film,at that age, went right over my head. In fact, the only reason to go to this film was to see Marilyn Monre. MY WEEK WITH MARILYN gave me GOOD CHILLS running down my spine and brought TEARS to my eyes during the last half of the film. And, knowing how she left this world forever, when I first heard of her passing on that Summer morning, standiing by a Howard Johnson Restaurant dish-washing machine in Gettysburg, PA, I felt a truly gifted, but terribly troubled star, had only left us all far behind in a glimmering glow of starlight, lasting, for some, our entire lives. This film was an enchantment full of beauty,compassion, truth and LOVE. A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT with an extraordinary cast, within a time capsule of perfect depiction, and a stupendous performance by Michele Williams as Marilyn.

Kenneth Branagh channeling Sir Laurence Olivier is worth the price of admission. This entire film is well done, glossy, and much more entertaining than the actual Prince and Showgirl movie (although that's worth a second watch after seeing this). Go and see this movie, and fall in love with Marilyn, just like Colin did.
