Alongside interviews with experts and former acquaintances, A-list actors read from Marilyn's own writings, bringing her words to a contemporary audience for the first time.

Critic Reviews
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Remove the comma from the title and Love, Marilyn plays like the command it is.
-
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Do any fresh revelations or insights remain, a half century past Monroe's overdose death at age 36?
-
Stephanie Zacharek, NPR
A heartfelt and well-intentioned love letter to an already deeply beloved star, and for anyone who's still not convinced, the picture works hard to make the case for Monroe's gifts as an actress.
-
Richard Brody, New Yorker
Monroe's vulnerability and sense of inadequacy, her frustration and solitude, come through poignantly.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
It was a mistake to ask anyone to dramatically read a chicken recipe Monroe prepared for Joe DiMaggio (one of her husbands), or some of the other scribbles included here.
