Review of Shirley (2020) by Moviemitch96 — 15 Jun 2020

I really don't have much to say on this one at all. I had no idea this was a biopic prior to watching it, nor did I have any idea who Shirley Jackson was. So maybe that's a big part of why I couldn't connect with this film to save my life, but even that aside, the film feels loosely and half-heartedly stitched together through questionable cinematography and editing, lack of any coherent narrative or purpose, and simply seems to just mosey along.

Aside from an always brilliant and reliable Elizabeth Moss (as well as a worthwhile turn from Michael Stuhlbarg), the rest of the performances from Logan Lerman and Odessa Young left much to be desired for me.

Overall, I simply found the whole ordeal to be quite forgettable and pointless.
