John Carman San Francisco Chronicle 09/19/2022
1/4
The resulting portrait is as plain and familiar as bark. Monroe had a horrendous childhood and spent her life in search of the father she never knew. Go to Full Review

Chopra’s movie isn’t interested in the gruesomeness of Marilyn’s death, or the sordid sex life we’ve come to identify with her. The portrayal of Marilyn is easily the best we’ve seen, for her perspective especially. Go to Full Review
Steven Oxman Variety 10/19/2018
Montgomery's depiction remains entertaining...there's something deeply fascinating about Marilyn's breathy delivery that the actress understands. Go to Full Review

A lead performance that makes things bearable is not nearly enough to salvage a problematic effort. Go to Full Review

BRENT C 09/16/2022 Intense, and sad really well made. See more 11/21/2020 i thought that the actress playing Marilyn was just wonderful, but the screenplay was weak. too many key omissions and too quick glossing over of key elements. Joe Dimaggio was presented as a truly thin character when in fact their relationship was complex. the subway draft scene that ended their marriage was completely absent.. what a huge error in script.. as was her entertaining troops which also contributed to the end of their marriage. I doubt Dimaggio ever told press about his having flowers at her crypt for 20 years. i found the film very disappointing overall, but i enjoyed the acting of the actress who played Marilyn.. She was truly outstanding.. I hope that the book by Oates is much better as i imagine it will be.. Will never watch this film again as it was really not a high quality screenplay.. See more 01/05/2013 I didn't mind this movie. Just another angle of Manroe's life. The main actress was good in this role. See more 01/28/2012 Not a bad film. If i'm honest i only watched it for Jensen Ackles and Poppy Montgomery. It wasn't a great film but it really wasn't a bad film either. Poppy was great and Jensen was a little funny. See more 04/26/2011 Poppy Montgomery was excellent in portraying Marilyn Monroe. I thought she was even better at playing Marilyn when she was only 'Norma Jeane'. See more 12/09/2010 I haven't really watched a lot of e Marilyn's films. so I'm unsure whether or not too much of Poppy's own personality bubbled to the surface, especially when Marilyn smiles and laughs suddenly during her most troubled moments.Once in platinum hair and with that famous beauty freckle. Montgomery does look quite a bit like the legendary sex symbol whose troubled, tortured private life is deeply explored here. Whether this movie is true to the actual life of Marilyn or not,Let Marilyn speak for herself in her own many newsreel clips and movies and records. She does herself better than any of these dimestore dollies. See more Read all reviews
