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.

Shirley is dark and weird, often compelling and occasionally confusing - just like its subject.

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

Mashable
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.

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.
