Indie, True Story
4.5 stars
Excellent acting. Based on the diary of Colin Clark, this film captures the tragic beauty of Marilyn Monroe while filming in England with Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) as she simultaneously captivates and infuriates the entire cast and crew. Michelle Williams is a superb actress whom I have great respect for, and she captured Monroe’s facial expressions and body language flawlessly. Eddie Redmayne (Savage Grace and The Other Boleyn Girl) stars as Colin Clarke, the low-level director’s assistant whom Marilyn entranced, seduced and confided in. Of course this is not the most flattering portrait of Monroe, who’s need for love and acceptance was surpassed by her ability to recognize how much she hurts those around her. Costars include Dougray Scott as Arthur Miller, Dominic Cooper as the director of the film and Judy Dench. Very well done.
