14 DAY TRIAL // “My Week with Marilyn,” starring Michelle Williams, is getting strong Oscar buzz from critics, but less than praising reviews from the fans. Perhaps the two videos released recently will help you make up your mind.
The film tells the story of a one-week alleged romance Marilyn had with one of Laurence Olivier's assistants, while also peeking behind the curtain into the life of Norma Jean, the woman behind the Marilyn facade.
Since shooting began, there's been a lot of talk of whether Michelle Williams was the right actress to portray her and, to be true, it hasn't stopped to this day.
One of the new videos show her perform “Heatwave” and she seems to have gotten Marilyn's moves and stage presence down to the letter.
The other is called “Getaway Car” and shows Marilyn whisking away a young Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), presumably on a romantic date.
Check them out and let us know what you make of them. Will Michelle Williams make a convincing Marilyn Monroe?
