"Shirley" benefits from a harrowing lead performance from Elisabeth Moss and an acute sense of storytelling, but I don't get all the hype surrounding the film. . In this drama inspired by a true story; Shirley Jackson, a famous horror writer, finds inspiration for her next book after she and her husband take in a young couple. . Elisabeth Moss is a force and you can't deny that fact, and I really love that "Shirley" is a film featuring strong female leads, a female director and writer. Although, I don't agree with all the positive response this film is receiving. It's not a bad film but it definitely requires a lot of your attention and I don't think it's all it's meant to be. "Shirley" is very much an intriguing story with great performances but the outcome isn't as great as you'd expect. . Follow @snobmedia for all reviews!
