The Late Marilyn

About This Movie

The Late Marilyn presents a poignant, almost haunting glimpse into the twilight of Marilyn Monroe's life. It’s a reflective piece, weaving together her own words that expose her vulnerabilities and complexities. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really soak in her musings on fame, love, and isolation. The atmosphere feels intimate, almost like eavesdropping on a private conversation. I found the practical effects minimal, which actually added to the realism, keeping the focus on her voice, her thoughts. The performances, especially in the reenactments, feel raw and unpolished, which complements the overall tone beautifully. It’s not just about the star but about the woman behind the legend, revealing layers that are often overlooked.
