my week with Marilyn



 I went to see this movie last weekend.  I'd heard and read good things about Michelle William's portrayal of Marilyn and I wanted to see for myself.

I left the cinema, felling very ho hum after the movie and really wasn't sure if I'd enjoyed it or not.  

Then tonight I read this post over at Sheri Bomb and  everything she says I totally agree with. 

Thanks Sheri Bomb for writing so well the thoughts and feelings I was unable to.  xx

The Artist

This was a totally spellbounding, beautiful, heartfelt movie which deserves (IMHO) all the awards it and its actors have won. 
I adored it and would def see it again.  All shot in black and white but so fabulously done that you could totally see the missing colours and textures.  The characters were loveable and believeable and the dog was gold! 
I truly urge anyone who hasn't seen this yet to run, not walk, to your local cinema and buy your tickets.  As always this is a film best savoured on the big screen for it's first viewing, don't wait for the DVD.    
9/10
