“My Week With Marilyn” stars Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, in a film about a week she spent making a film with Laurence Oliver.
Michele Williams‘ trick is to avoid doing an impersonation of Monroe and instead embody the first superstar. There was a light inside Marilyn she could turn on and off and Williams somehow manages to express it on screen.
It’s a touching performance of a complex woman.
