This intelligent, sensitive doc gets a bit pretentious as today's stars read Monroe's words.

Cath Clarke, Time Out

Remove the comma from the title and Love, Marilyn plays like the command it is.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

Do any fresh revelations or insights remain, a half century past Monroe's overdose death at age 36?

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

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.

Monroe's vulnerability and sense of inadequacy, her frustration and solitude, come through poignantly.

Richard Brody, New Yorker
