MY WEEK WITH MARILYN

Movie: My Week with Marilyn
Rating: C
Time: 1 hour 39 Minutes

Saw this movie today with my friend, Nancy. We were both a bit disappointed, expected more since it is up for a Golden Globe Award. We felt it moved too slowly. Michelle Williams does an excellent job portraying Marilyn Monroe and can understand why she is up for Best Actress. The movie mostly shows you how mentally disturbed Marilyn really was. She didn't know who her father was and her mother was put in a mental institution when Marilyn was young. Consequently, Marilyn had deep-seeded insecurities and fears of anyone she loved leaving her. It is worth seeing when you can rent it, but spend your $7 on another movie. Just my opinion......
