ada the leading man is my tpye

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

sherlollyotp First things first. If you're looking for a complete, understated biopic, this is not the film for you. Understated, 'Mary Shelley' is not. Captivating, it most certainly is. Emotionally powerful, visually beautiful, and positively immersive, it may not be pin-point accurate to history but I feel it is true to the spirit of those it portrays and the story it tells. It also doesn't fall into my least favourite biopic traps, like trying to show a person's whole life in one film, or being so cowed by history it forgets to have fun. It has a good, solid time frame, and ends exactly where it should. It is compelling and entertaining. There was so much more to Mary Shelley than the events depicted here, yes, but the story it tells is by no means an incomplete one. I couldn't recommend this film emphatically enough. Elle Fanning is pitch-perfect as Mary herself, capturing grand emotion and great genius without losing sight of her youth, and she carries the whole film beautifully. Douglas Booth is a wonderful Shelley, and gets extra props for making me care about a historical figure I've always disliked. Bel Powley gives a fantastic, sympathetic performance as Claire Clairmont, who deserved better and for whom I would die here. Tom Sturridge is a delightfully mercurial and rather hammy Byron, Ben Hardy an earnest and lovable Polidori. In fact, I can't think of a single performance I disliked. Is it a perfect film? No. Is it totally historically accurate? God, no. But did I, personally, love it? Oh, so much.

Loredana Malic I already knew Elle Fanning was a wonderful actress, but watching her become a stellar one was mind-blowing! The story was well-paced and it stalled only once or twice, but the acting was what kept me going. I wish this movie became more well-known and well-loved, it deserves every praise! The setting and costumes were wonderful too.

Abbass Akkoush An important decent movie with some great performances & beautiful plot. A true story of Mary Godwin that got inspired by her miserable life & love affair to write her first masterpiece & how she struggled as a female author to get her chance of publishing.

ttmlevigan Elle Fanning is awesome in this film (as always) but the script tried to cover too much time and we're left with beautiful snippets that spark interest but are never fully satisfying - as soon as we get into a bit of story, we suddenly move-on and too many threads are left untied. I enjoyed the spectacle, but they maybe bit-off too much!
