My Week with Marilyn

My Week with Marilyn (2011) starring Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Redmayne. In 1956, Marilyn Monroe (Williams) journeys to England to make a movie with Laurence Olivier (Branagh). On the scene is Colin Clark (Redmayne), a young assistant who by chance becomes Monroe's confidante and companion for a week during the production. Based on a true story, this movie appears to capture the difficulties of making a film with Monroe at this point in her career (she was 30). For Clark, it becomes a first love that breaks his heart, at least "a little." It's a fairly entertaining movie, although Williams (or anyone) is obviously no Monroe. (The DVD has subtitles for the hearing impaired, but does not offer closed captions.) Grade: B-
