Based on the book by Colin Clark about his experiences with Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier during the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl, My Week with Marilyn could be this year's The King's Speech. The film boasts enchanting costume and set design, which set off the quaint storyline. However, it's Michelle Williams' portrayal of the complicated Monroe clashing with Kenneth Branagh's Sir Laurence that truly captivates and brings the film to the level of true art.
Williams' Monroe is more than impersonation. Although too lanky to ever be really mistaken for the siren of the silver screen, Williams truly embodies the pathos of the late actress in both her flirtatious humor and soul-deep sadness. Eddie Redmayne, Zoe Wanamaker, Judi Dench and Emma Watson co-star.
My Week with Marilyn is now playing in theaters nationwide. Expect to see Williams' name on the awards nominations lists this year. Read Beck Ireland's review.
