Let's be realistic.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This was a beautiful film looking at the intricate struggles of Marilyn Monrose on her journey of fame, told in a very simplistic way through emotion and connection. The perspective is beautiful, a very well shot film. I personally feel like the film lacks a type of emotional connection with the viewer that I felt like it was trying to go for but did not successfully achieve.

the acting is the best part of this biopic. the science of Kenneth Branagh to give a realistic Laurence Olivier. the beautiful work of Judi Dench. the exploration of his role by Eddie Redmayne. and, sure, the decent job of Michelle Williams who has the art to translate a legendary star states and not become herself. sure, the story has the fate of each testimony from a guy who meet a personality. the details about The Prince and the Showgirl backstage are not real important in the case of My Week with Marilyn. important remains the manner to give realistic sketches of few actors and to define the atmosphere of period. and that does Michelle Williams one of the most remarkable interpreter of Marilyn Monroe. and that give a seed of new perception of a splendid classic film. film of its actors, My Week with Marilyn is one of films who must see.

I think the plot of "My Week with Marilyn" as such was sweet & predictable, resting largely on what some of us already know about the debacles on the set of "The Prince and the Showgirl," and there were no surprises there. The film is mainly worth seeing because of its many stars, and Dench, Wanamaker, and Jacobi are always worth watching, but what will stay with me after having seen the film is Branagh's absolutely and chillingly spot-on performance as Laurence Olivier. I don't think I've ever seen the like! There were moments - especially at the first rehearsal and later when Olivier was in costume, when I positively forgot it was Branagh. I swear. If the performance at times bordered on parody it was only because Olivier at times appeared to be parodying himself. It was a stunning performance. Branagh is a great actor.

My Week with Marilyn is film that was based on two books by Colin Clark that narrates the story of Marilyn Monroe when she was in the process of making the film,The Prince And The Showgirl with Sir Laurence Olivier.It focuses on the time that Clark spent with Marilyn at London after the latter's husband left for the country.It stars Michelle Williams as Marilyn together with Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Redmayne, Dominic Cooper, Julia Ormond, Emma Watson and Judi Dench.It was the summer of 1956.Colin Clark from Oxford was determined to make his way in the film business.He started by working as a lowly assistant on the set of 'The Prince and the Showgirl'. When Arthur Miller left for England, Colin introduced himself to Marilyn and introduced her to some of the pleasures of British life.Together,they spent an idyllic week in which he escorted a her to various places in London as she desperate to get away from her from the pressures of work and life as a movie star.No question about it that Michelle Williams was definitely wonderful in her performance as Marilyn Monroe.That alone will keep the viewer interested all through out the film.Credit also should be given to the wonderful cast who also provided worthy acting just like Williams.In addition to that,we also get to witness other aspects of Marilyn's personality that is little known to the public like her flaws as an individual,her weaknesses and her vulnerability to the public pressure of being a Hollywood superstar.Overall,this is not just another film about the timeless superstar but also a great addition to those who are willing Amen.
