This film has a lot of issues. It's disconnected, disjointed and doesn't really do great character development. As for it being a pseudo biopic for a horror writer Shirley doesn't give any indication of this. It really wouldn't have mattered. Moss was the only reason I watched it and her performance was good. The film was slow and lacked an arc for sure. I wouldn't recommend this film.

This was such a unique way to tell a story, or rather a story in a story. I can't think of another movie quite like it. I love when something happens in a movie where it forces the user to reconsider everything that had happened earlier in a new light. Beyond that, the acting by the three leads is exceptional. Elisabeth Moss is this generation's Meryl Streep. I recently saw Capote and was distracted by Hoffman's portrayal for the whole movie. Moss is nearly unrecognizable in this role and it is completely believable. Just reading through some of the comments here.... I think some people misunderstood the ending and thus the entire movie. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

The director strives to constantly underline with a schizophrenic author style the sequences of a script that is itself messy. Fortunately, Elisabeth Moss and Michael Stuhlbarg understand their characters better, even if it is in the middle of a proposal that is defined neither as a biopic nor as a psychological drama.

My expectations for 'Shirley' were probably as high as for any film this year, and those expectations were well-invested. Josephine Decker has delivered a film far better than any biopic could have been. Not only does it celebrate everything incredible about Shirley Jackson's work, it amplifies our More
