Entertainment Weekly
Most of us consider Marilyn Monroe a born star with modest acting skills, but Love, Marilyn deepens the argument that the ditzy, dim-bulb ''Marilyn'' was every inch a performance, and a brilliant one. - 75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Remove the comma from the title and Love, Marilyn plays like the command it is. - 65
NPR
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. - 60
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. - 60
Empire
If not quite on the level of Garbus's terrific Bobby Fischer documentary, this still filled with fond recollections of Mazza's life and career. Fans will relish it. - 60
Time Out London
Love, Marilyn blows out of the water the impression of Monroe as the helpless dumb blonde. - 40
