What Love, Marilyn Is About

In 2010 Marilyn Monroe's poems, notes and letters were published as Fragments. Liz Garbus builds her documentary around those texts and does it in an unusual way: a large number of actors read Monroe's own sentences straight to camera. Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Uma Thurman, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Paul Giamatti and dozens more each inhabit the same person at a different point in her life. The result is not a biography but an attempt to let someone writing about herself be heard.
