Although a little sluggishly paced, this miniseries, based on the eponymously titled book by J. Randy Taraborrelli, makes a decent attempt to show why Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson, was never comfortable in her own skin.... Garner gives a surprisingly confident, spunky performance as the Monroe.
-
Garner convincingly captures the ill-fated, love-craving blonde bombshell while Sarandon summons up more than a one-note character and Morgan brings DiMaggio back to prideful, brutish life.
-
Kelli Garner manages to bring a freshness to her interpretation of Monroe that never feels like caricature.
-
Because Garner is the movie, the movie is worth watching, even if it adds little else to the already active Marilyn Monroe conversation.
