Every part was cast to perfection, from the leads down to the bit parts. One of my favorite aspects of the film was the actual cast. RELATED Magic in the Moonlight Film Review: Colin Firth at his Mr. The film is rather a fun fairy tale of what it was like working on a film with a few of Hollywood’s greatest stars. The story honestly just plays into the enigma surrounding Monroe, while also making her feel very real. How truthful his accounts are of the romantic week he shared with Monroe are questionable, but from a narrative perspective it is completely entertaining. Over time, Colin becomes intrigued with the anxiety driven starlet plagued with insecurities and falls for her. So it’s a biopic of sorts about Colin and his perspective of the conflict during filming between Olivier and Monroe due to her chronic lateness and many demands as well as his bad temper because of it. My Week with Marilyn is based on the journal entries of Colin Clark, the young assistant who worked on the famous film The Prince and the Showgirl with Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier.
The story of a young filmmaker’s time working with Monroe and Olivier on a now classic film, is a must see for all film history enthusiasts. It’s a gorgeously shot period drama with a brilliant cast (especially Kenneth Branagh as Olivier), beautiful costumes, witty dialogue and more. I don’t know why it took me a few years to watch this film, but I finally got around to it and loved every second of it.
