Marilyn

Anyone that knows me knows that I love anything and everything Marilyn.  So when I heard they had made a movie about her I just HAD to see it.  Unfortunately due to a illness and not enough money I wasn’t able to see it at the theater.  I used the word unfortunately when it should have been fortunately. I’m so glad I didn’t pay movie theater prices to see it and waited to see it when it came out on Netflix.
Now don’t get me wrong it wasn’t an awful movie and I knew in advance it wasn’t going to be showing her in the best of lights. I think in a nutshell it was the actress who portrayed her that ruined it for me.  Michelle Williams played the part of Marilyn and in my opinion did a crappy job at it. She didn’t look enough like her, she didn’t have her breathy voice down. I could go on and on why I thought she wasn’t a good choice for the part.

With all that being said, if you have nothing else to do on a rainy day or late at night, it IS worth a watch. Just don’t expect to much from it.  I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.
