Customer Reviews: Brilliant for any fan of Monroe September 22, 2007 London Music Guy (London) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This is a great movie. It's not without it's flaws however, for a start they dramatize things a bit and make Marilyn look like a nutter with split personalites in places - which has no evidence of truth to back it up. However this does make for some great viewing, the final scene in the bathroom where Norma Jeane tells Marilyn in the mirror that she has 'lost her mind' is especially emotional and gives you an insight into perhaps Monroe's last hours with us. br / br /More could have been done with the film in exhibiting some of Marilyn's more iconic images, the diamonds are a girls best friend iconic image and her most famous image in the white dress that blows up over the subway gate are given little screen time. Judd captures the essence of Marilyn far more than Sorvino, despite not having the trademark blonde hair and make up in her part of the film as Norma Jeane. Sorvino still shines however and picks up Marilyn's diction, vocalisation and mannerisms well - making for a great performance all round. br / br /The best part of the movie has to be the scene back stage at JFK's birthday celebrations where Monroe is getting ready and needs her hair done, it's almost like getting a peek into the past is very believable. If you're a Marilyn Monroe fan you will love this movie - highly recommended.
