The circus is in town


My Week with Marilyn (2011)

Directed by Simon Curtis this film stars Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh and Eddie Redmayne. A young graduate gets his first job working on a film staring Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe.

Based on real events the plot of this film really comes across as a bit of an indulgence for Monroe fans. While there is nothing wrong with the plot it shows only a snap shot into the life of Monroe rather than being a more in depth biopic. What I did enjoy about the film was the large cast of great actors, Branagh is a little out of place physically but makes up for it vocally.

3/5
