Our take

Taking time out of collaborating with American auteurs (Kelly Reichardt, Charlie Kaufman), Michelle Williams led this biopic—turning the daunting task of playing Monroe into a star-making role of her own. She excels as the three-dimensional, multifaceted woman behind and beyond the big-screen icon.
