Shirley - Avaliações

...lures you back into the frenzy, a play of wits and deception where the game isn’t victory or even solace, really, but a state of survival that feels dementedly, horrifically true.

With all her depression and drunkenness, Jackson is nobody's fool, and Moss never lets us forget the will of iron inside this often-incapacitated woman...

...a multi-hyphenate head trip, with rambles into murder mystery (...), female intimacy and obsession, the cult of personality, and the life/death sentence of traditional domestic roles in the early Sixties.

...it’s directed to create a humidly intense atmosphere of emotional abuse...

Young and Moss beautifully level-out and make real the uneven relationship that spins out of Shirley and Rose being thrown together.

The walls might not be able to talk, but they can sag and oppress and vibrate.

There’s a hypnotic perversity to the characters and how they interact, never meeting our expectations and Decker’s direction is equally peculiar and unpredictable.

Elisabeth Moss håller en klistrad vid intrigerna.

Vi bør alle prise os lykkelige for at have en skuespiller så nuanceret og interessant som Elisabeth Moss.

Galenskap och skapande i skarpsynta ”Shirley”.

...one of the most visually arresting and intellectually provocative films of the year.

Moss disappears inside Jackson's uncomfortable skin to show how she used her razor-sharp mind to conjure cruelties as an act of intelligent superiority.

I became enamored with this couple, and this story, and their eccentric state of being.

It's a must watch for everyone who likes a little thrill in their dramas.

Josephine Decker’s stunning anti-biopic of author Shirley Jackson offers a treatise on female creativity and camaraderie.

...instruktør Josephine Decker [har] skabt et forførende og febervildt røntgenbillede af den indre verden, forfatteren førte ud på papiret.
