Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Williams is a more three-dimensional Monroe than the love goddess herself. The performance is both an eerie imitation and a touching revelation.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

fresh:
[Williams] floats through the movie, perfectly capturing Monroe's way of rhythmically whispering through a song, looking softly frightened when uncertain, and not strolling so much as delicately oozing across the floor.
– Moira MacDonald,

rotten:
A dubious idea done in by Adrian Hodges's shallow script and Simon Curtis's clumsy direction.
– Joe Morgenstern,

fresh:
That's all familiar lore but, to his credit, director Simon Curtis lays out these separate ambitions and conflicting tensions with breezy dispatch in the early frames.
– Rick Groen,

fresh:
I believe the heart of the film, and the cleverest stroke of all, is Eddie Redmayne as Colin Clark, someone few of us will have heard of.
