O que se diz lá fora sobre MY WEEK WITH MARILYN, de Simon Curtis:



«The movie seems to be a fairly accurate re-creation of the making of a film at Pinewood Studios at that time. It hardly matters. What happens during the famous week hardly matters. What matters is the performance by Michelle Williams.»
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.

«Ms. Williams tries her best, and sometimes that's almost enough.»
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.

«To the extent that Michelle Williams' multilayered interpretation of Marilyn Monroe serves as its raison d'etre, MY WEEK WITH MARILYN succeeds stunningly.»
Ronnie Scheib, Variety.

«Williams gets us on intimate terms with one of Hollywood's most enduring and tragic icons. If much of what surrounds her in Simon Curtis' biographical drama is less nuanced, her work alone keeps the movie entertaining.»
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter.

«At moments hilarious and others touching, it's a sweet, slight affair, more pretty pageant than pithy biographical drama. Expect awards nominations to stack up for Williams and Branagh.»
Angie Errigo, Empire.

O que se diz lá fora sobre BLUE VALENTINE, de Derek Cianfrance:



«Ms. Williams and Mr. Gosling are exemplars of New Method sincerity, able to be fully and achingly present every moment on screen together.»
A.O. Scott, The New York Times.

«An intensely acted, minutely observed attempt to convey the arc of a romantic involvement.»
Todd McCarthy, Variety.

«BLUE VALENTINE is lushly touching and gorgeously told.»
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly.

«Ultimately, the heavy-handed and annoyingly obvious aesthetic wears thin.»
Duane Byrge, The Hollywood Reporter.

«An intimate, gorgeous and wrenching portrait of a working-class marriage in what may be a state of terminal decay.»
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com.
