Shirley (2020)

Shirley: Directed by Josephine Decker. With Elisabeth Moss, Odessa Young, Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman. A famous horror writer finds inspiration for her next book after she and her husband take in a young couple.

“Just…. Strange. Kind of a weird train wreck to watch. Elisabeth Moss is a great actress and delivers as usual, but itu0026#39;s a little hard to get on board with the story, because you want the u0026quot;goodu0026quot; characters to stand up for themselves and the u0026quot;badu0026quot; characters are just pretty mean. Upon further recent (this is supposed to be based on the Haunting of Hill House author Shirley Jackson), there is no evidence that the real Shirley Jackson was so evil. This movie version of Shirley tears people down for sport. It leaves a bad taste in my life when famous figures are skewered in movies that promote themselves as biopics or u0026quot;based on the life ofu0026quot; or u0026quot;inspired by a true story.u0026quot; Skip this movie and read a Shirley Jackson novel instead!”
