How can I take any of this seriously when the woman playing the main character looks to be about 17 years old?

Your review of Mary Shelley is a rare experience for me: It makes me want to buy a ticket and see the movie immediately! It’s everything a positive review should be — compelling, with the reasons clearly set out. Thank you!

This is the first movie review that has tempted me to actually go to the movies since "The Phantom Thread" persuaded me that event might never happen again.
Hoping against hope that this won't be another dose of poison mushrooms and laughing gas.

It's about time that Mary Shelley, the creator of Victor Frankenstein, that young college drop-out and ne'er-do-well, got her own film. Victor's lovable monster has been hogging the limelight all these years.
Can't wait! But will this film make it to Pagosa Springs?

Wow, you young critics have never heard of Ken Russell's 'Gothic' -- this sounds like a direct riff on his version, rather than the actual historical events.

Very good review!

My appetite is well-whetted. A fine review.

Can't wait.
Good review but Caleb Williams was not a gothic novel. Yes, it has murder, mystery and a haunting feel but it belongs it a category of its own. "Things as they are" is a strange book, Godwin thought of it as an imaginary application of the principles of mental and moral science.

Easily we all see this to be the film that finally knocks "Avengers: Infinity War" off it's lofty top box office perch. How could anyone dispute a two billion dollar domestic opening weekend projection?

I'm curious why in the end-of-article film description for "Mary Shelley," the lead actor named is Ben Hardy and not Elle Fanning.
