"Shirley" is not a biopic. It's more like a movie about Shirley Jackson, told in the style of Shirley's Gothic short stories. The visual style of the film is very distinctive, obviously Josephine Decker's style
. The film aims to substitute the audience into an uneasy movie-watching experience, but in the process of plot design, the roles played by Logan Lerman and Odessa Young did not find a suitable position for their roles, which was slightly redundant or mismatched. The film also has a lot to appreciate and learn from. The film took a long time to express the ideas it wanted to express. Some of the exaggerated character styles and setting of the scene distracted the audience's attention
