	Author	Review
United Kingdom	David Parkinson Empire	"Monroe without make-up. (...) If not quite on the level of Garbus's terrific Bobby Fischer documentary (...) Fans will relish it. Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"Although it promises more than it delivers, this doc provides a slick overview of the Marilyn mystique."	NEU
United Kingdom	Henry Barnes The Guardian	"You could remove the comma from the title to summarise this puppy-eyed tribute to Marilyn Monroe (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"For fans, there is not much new information here; it’s all in the presentation. Garbus is clearly entranced with her subject"	NEU
United States	David DeWitt The New York Times	"The intelligence and dynamism of Ms. Garbus’s approach could hardly fail to make you appreciate Monroe’s growth as an actor."	POS
