CGiii Comment
An utterly charming and sympathetic vision of Marilyn.
With exquisite touches of camp and a deep sense of nostalgia - this film will leave a great big smile on your face after the tracts of tears have dried.
Exceptional performances, extraordinary depth.
Quite, quite beautiful.
The lighting team deserve particular mention.

Sir Laurence Olivier is making a movie in London. Young Colin Clark, an eager film student, wants to be involved and he navigates himself a job on the set. When film star Marilyn Monroe arrives for the start of shooting, all of London is excited to see the blonde bombshell, while Olivier is struggling to meet her many demands and acting ineptness, and Colin is intrigued by her. Colin's intrigue is met when Marilyn invites him into her inner world where she struggles with her fame, her beauty and her desire to be a great actress.
