Title: My Week with Marilyn
Genre: Film
Grade: A
Notable People: Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Eddie Redmayne, Emma Watson
Review: I was moved by this film which explores a week in London at the height on MM’s career while making a comedy with Sir Laurence Olivier. Eddie Redmayne shines at the young man who stumbles into a filming role and gets close to the star (he pays Colin Clark- from whose memoir the movie is derived) . Michelle Williams is absolutely luminous as MM and Branagh nails Olivier. If you are of an age to remember how big she was – this is quite illuminating. I just loved Judi Dench.
