      Why should a woman embarrass a woman?

      3 stars, the shot is decent, and the texture is full of nostalgia. The story is not terrifying at all, but it looks a bit weird. How can a woman be like this, plastic sisters, good times can scream for love, and they can kill each other at any time, and it is the one who kills the heart first. Kind of, it is difficult for men to do this. The hypocritical virgin sister fought fiercely with the yin and cruel scheming bitch, watching the drama in the drama, and hearing the words...

      Lead:

      Abandoning the traditional biographical film formula, "Shirley" draws more creative focus from the plot to the image style and sound effect design. This is not a biographical film solely belonging to Jackson Shirley, but a film about Shirley and her novels-from the film's fictional description of Jackson's heroine and the partial abstraction of the film- —'Paula' seems to refer to a part of the...

      People who lose themselves are easy to go crazy

They have complicated psychology, like observation and fantasy, and they have to come up with something right and wrong to break this boring environment. The movie "Shirley" tells the story of right and wrong in the university town, and tells the weird mentality of the female writer Shirley and the people around her. The main...

      [Film Review] Shirley (2020)

      "Women like Shirley don't have friends", the said Shirley is famed American horror/mystery writer Shirley Jackson (1916-1965), played by Elisabeth Moss with an unflattering, matronly transmogrification. While the film's title is SHIRLEY, actually there are two leads of equal weight in US indie practitioner Josephine Decker's unorthodox biopic, which is adapted from Susan Scarf...

      8/10 must be watched with this year's invisible man. In terms of roles alone, Moss has contributed to the two most insane female characters this year, everyone in the Raptor team. This is the direction you should work on. In the invisible man, she can still feel her hidden restraint; but in this one, Moss completely let go, the whole role is in a dramatic state of excitement from beginning to end, and the movie script is completely compromised by her. So you may not like this story, but you...

    "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...
