Starring Elizabeth Moss, Odessa Young & Michael Stuhlbarg. A film by Josephine Decker.
Critic Reviews:
- " Moss and Stuhlbarg's performances are showstopping-ranging over a striking spectrum from muted passivity to explosive chaos-and are reminiscent of gripping theater. " – Cody Corrall
- " Shirley is a taut, engaging drama, which explores the intricacies of female relationships and roles in a considered, compelling – and stylish – manner. " – Tori Brazier
- " Shirley has far different aims than does the usual laundry-list biopic, but it's far, far more powerful for it. " – Fletcher Powell
