Mary Shelley

Call this a #MeToo period film. The idea that Mary Shelley modeled her portrait of an unloved monster abandoned by her narcissistic and indifferent creator on Percy's treatment of her (seducing, impregnating and walking away) is novel and interesting; that said, you can see the limitations in the budget and the movie too frequently talks about its ideas rather than dramatizing them. Flawed but interesting.

Even if you're not fully aware of the Shelleys' real-life sexual and social radicalism, there's a nagging feeling that every time the film flirts with their true characters and lifestyle, it cowers in fear and reverts to shallow moralism. Even the production design reflects a pedanticism at odds with the film's subjects and moral. Most of its up-and-coming cast relish their parts, and it shows, so it's not absolutely boring. Just a missed opportunity.

Although both Shelley & her baby daddy were privileged enough to have learned how to use flowery language to present their id-driven worldview & lack of wisdom as philosophy, the fact is she behaved like a spoiled (what was so relatively bad about her life?) hippie & built a relationship w/ a dick who walked out on his daughter. It makes her thoroughly unlikeable. Having said that, she does pay for her mistakes & her story here is one of the most compellingly unpredictable bios I've ever seen

Mary Shelley is a boring British biopic. You'd be better off just reading about Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin on the internet than watching it.

A must for any fans of the novel, "Frankenstein". This is the back story of the young author. An excellent period drama for anyone else. Fanning was great in the lead role.

The overall ambiguity of all the situations and the progressive view of the main characters made this an interesting watch, conceding that I didn't know anything about Mary except the book. But the focus was on too many things and when you do that you can only scratch the surface and never get to the bone.

Filme göre meşhur Frankenstein’ın temeli, İngiliz yazar Shelley ve eşinin, yazar Lord Byron'un evine yaptıkları tatil sırasında atılıyor. Ancak eserin yazılma süreci geri planda kalırken, şair eşiyle olan ilişkisi, üstelik de tekrarlayarak ve tutucu bir ahlak açısıyla öne çıkıyor. O nasıl bir Lord Byron öyle? Dönemin entelekrüel çevresini de bugünün gözünden yargılamaya kalkan bir bakış açısı var yönetmenin. Bana kalırsa, Ken Russell’ın Gothic’in

Hayatımda seyrettiğim en karanlık biyografi. Karanlık olduğu kadar da sıkıcı. Mary Shelley'in eşi, kardeşi ve lord byron la olan arkadaşlığı üzerine bir film. Lord Byron un marjinal bir adam olduğunu öğrendik. Etkileyici sahneler olduğu kadar uykunuzun gelmenize de sebep oluyor. Uykusuzluk sorunu olanlara iyi film. Bu arada Mary Shelley, kankadan koca olmaz.

Slow paced, but I was drawn in by performances and interesting subject matter however it lacks a certain something

okay movie

How anyone can make such a dull movie about the life of Mary Shelley is beyond me. At least Tom Sturridge has fun playing Lord Byron.
