bubsy-3 Review of My Week with Marilyn

My Week with Marilyn (2011)

A "ho hum" movie with a long drawn out ending

[6/10 · 15 August 2012]

While watching "my week with Marilyn we learn that the main characters "week" with Marilyn was similar to several others' "weeks" with Marilyn when she was passionately involved with them. But my reaction to this movie was "who cares?!" While the movie might be called "entertaining" to an extent, it is trite and pointless. I didn't particularly like Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe. I honestly never believed her in the character role, the same way that I never believed Will Smith as Ali. I also found the last half hour of the film to drag and I kept saying "end it already!". Normally I write a comprehensive review of the films I see, but this review pretty much sums up the experience of "My Week with Marilyn".
