merelyaninnuendo My Week With MarilynThe chemistry among the characters; despite of stellar performance, comes off a bit shallow as the audience fails to connect with it. The adaptation by Adrian Hodges isn't smart; even though gripping and keeps the audience engaged with it, for the missing puzzle in here is the poetic tone or a definite point that it never even attempts to reach for. It is rich on costume, production and make-up design but is short on other technical departments like sound department and editing which could have been a lot better if supervised appropriately. Simon Curtis; the director, lacks better execution skills especially around the edges which is a bit chalky in here. The feature scores majestically on performance where each individual supporting cast (Eddie Redmayne and Kenneth Branagh) is helping the protagonist (Michelle Williams) to reach the shore safely. The script is the real culprit in here that doesn't breed either the sincerity or the crisp out of the characters or the bubble that they all reside in, wasting a mighty window which could have utilized easily (especially when it's right there). My Week With Marilyn is an easy mundane week which is forgettable as soon as you are off screen.

valadas And very well portrayed in this remarkable film. All the other characters are also most authentic. A famous movie star, even a sex symbol, has a brief and most platonic romance with a young third director's assistant, revealing herself how she really was: a psychologically unstable woman and in conflict with herself, looking for someone who could love her as a woman and not just as a movie star. If the real Marilyn was like that, this movie shows it very well. Colin Powell, the young director's assistant later became a famous writer but has never forgotten the dreamy week that he had lived. And Marilyn was, for all that, honest with him, not using the procedure of "using and throwing away" despite knowing that it shouldn't go on. A beautiful and very well told and acted story, admirably filmed.

FilmBuff1994 My Week with Marilyn is a great movie with a very well developed storyline and an outstanding cast. It's a very interesting film, as it takes us in to the life of Colin Clark, a man who served as a production assistant during the filming of the Prince and the Showgirl, it is an intriguing story that I had never heard of before, I have a huge interest in film making and getting to get to know what went on in the background of these films will always captivate me, especially if they're as complicated as this one was. I think this film certainly could have been longer, when I saw that it was over it left me wanting more, it's only about ninety minutes long, but a biography film like this could easily go past two hours, it could have shown a lot more of Marilyn Monroe and given us more detail on her past and personal life, I understand the film revolves around Clark, but she is obviously the reason people will watch this movie. Eddie Redmayne shines in the lead role, but the performances of Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh as they play Hollywood icons Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier are simply breathtaking, they lived and breath these characters, their mannerisms are very accurate and they're unrecognizeable, they deserve any award they received for this film. Stunning performances and an easy to follow, but very interesting story, I would recommend My Week with Marilyn to anyone looking for a good drama or biography film. A young film studio assistant has a brief relationship with Marilyn Monroe as she films the Prince and the Showgirl. Best Performance: Michelle Williams
