Samantha Morton: Mister Lonely

Playing a legendary icon like Marilyn Monroe isn’t an easy task for any actor.  So just try wrapping your head around having to play a character who looks and sounds just like Monroe, but is actually a star-struck celebrity impersonator.  That’s the tricky role Samantha Morton has to navigate in Harmony Korine’s little-seen oddity, Mister Lonely.  As usual though, the actress makes the impossible possible with a performance that’s mixes humor and heartbreak in always surprising ways.  If there’s a part Morton can’t play, she hasn’t found it yet.
