MM superfan Edgar Freire attended a screening of Love, Marilyn at New York’s Film Forum recently, and shared his impressions with members of Immortal Marilyn:
“Went to see Love, Marilyn over the weekend in NY. It was an enthralling experience, being able to sit in the darkened cinema enjoying a loving, layered portrait of such an increasingly fascinating icon. Seeing some rare photos and private footage was a surprising bonus. Some early reviewers have commented (not positively) about the director’s decision to have contemporary actors reciting Marilyn’s words and thoughts, but I think this was a good tactic…it really brings Monroe’s story alive, and reinforces the serious actor’s struggle for reality and empathy for the human condition. Despite its heartbreaking end, this film breathes life, hope and trust at its core.”
