Movie Reviews

  • the things she's (Elisabeth Moss) doing here are quietly astonishing; it's a spellbinding picture, and another fine vehicle for the strange and beautiful way this singular artist (Josephine Decker) sees the world
    Review rate : A- by Jason Bailey [The Playlist ]
  • Sarah Gubbins' script is tart, verbally lively and neatly constructed, while director Josephine Decker, keeps a very tight rein on things, adroitly mixing in tension, innuendo and dark humor to keep the drama at a satisfying low boil most of the way
    by Todd McCarthy [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • Josephine Decker's biography of famed gothic novelist Shirley Jackson is a sumptuous period psychodrama; This is Decker’s funniest film to date, yet also her most intimate and erotic
    by Hannah Woodhead [Little White Lies ]
  • in Shirley Jackson, the actress (Elisabeth Moss) veers from grumpy to menacing to touching, turning in what may be her best -- and is surely her wittiest -- film performance to date
    Review rate : B+ by David Canfield [Entertainment Weekly ]
  • in exploring themes of womanhood, marriage, and the creative process, "Shirley" covers similar ground as other works of art depicting this era of old-fashioned American repression, which makes it more palatable to a wider audience
    Review rate : B+ by Jordan Raup [The Film Stage ]
  • a perversely entertaining take on a brief period of Shirley Jackson's life gives the star (Elisabeth Moss) one of her most daring roles to date; it's a thrillingly perverse example of what happens when the shackles of biopic formula are cast aside
    4 of 5 by Benjamin Lee [The Guardian ]
