My Week with Marilyn (2011)

 Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) was a 23 year old 3rd assistant director (glorified gofer) on the set of 'The Prince and the Show Girl' in 1956, when it's star Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) took a shine to him. 'My Week with Marilyn' is the story of the best week in the mans life.  Though based on a true story the film is a mix of wish fulfilment fantasy and legitimate character study, Redmayne is fine, Williams proves once again that she is one of our best and most under apricated actresses, and the strong supporting cast ranges from Kenneth Branagh to Emma Watson. ***
