It's easy to admire the performances without feeling like the journey adds up to much. While Moss captures the complexity of Shirley's personality, the movie sheds scant light on the underlying why of it all. Full Review

Rating: 4.5/5 -- Shirley is dark and weird, often compelling and occasionally confusing - just like its subject. Full Review

Shirley weaves superb dramatic and comedic acting from all four of its leads into a dream-like journey befitting Jackson's masterful literary style. Full Review

The details are smudged and fudged, but Shirley unpacks the crux of one of the 20th century's great writers, evoking not just her life but the existential terror that she and women like her were always facing, and still do. Full Review

Rating: B+ -- The deeper the author plunges into the project, the more subjective the movie becomes, revealing the dark visions that descend on Shirley in ghastly, expressive bursts. Full Review

If writer Sarah Gubbins nimbly navigates the slow psychological terror of women on verge of a nervous breakdown, director Josephine Decker is her partner in crime, bringing the same splintered manic energy that was so spellbinding in "Madeline's Madeline" Full Review

Decker's filmmaking is often dreamlike, but her storytelling has a cruel bite of reality to it-just as Jackson's writing did decades before. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Renowned horror writer Shirley Jackson is on the precipice of writing her masterpiece when the arrival of newlyweds upends her meticulous routine and heightens tensions in her already tempestuous relationship with her philandering husband. The middle-aged couple, prone to ruthless barbs and copious afternoon cocktails, begins to toy mercilessly with the naive young couple at their door.
