In the middle of My Week With Marilyn, my wife leans over to me and says “you know what the problem with this movie is? The kid! He’s like some kind of weird eunuch! He has no chemistry with either Emma Watson or Michelle Williams, and they are both really sexy actresses!”

I couldn’t have said it better. The only thing I would add is that the scenes of the cast shooting The Prince and the Showgirl are really boring, meaning that the two central narratives are busts. Add on top of this that Marilyn Monroe comes across (accurately or not) as a highly irritating, dimwitted twit, and that Michelle Williams fails to capture anything resembling “magic” about her, and it all adds up to one really crappy film!
