This is a captivating watch that effortlessly combines psychological depth with eerie elegance. The film's atmospheric tension and meticulous attention to historical detail create an immersive experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The performances are stellar, with each actor bringing a haunting realism to their roles. It's a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a blend of horror and historical drama. Highly recommended! 🎬✨
Don't make crap up about historical figures unless you are going to make it so unreal that it is clear you are making it all up. And then do the research first.
So, the movie is good, the only thing pulling me out is that it's so detached from the actual Mary Shelley, but still claims her name. At this point they could have used any name really, it didn't HAVE to be about Mary Shelly. I am not someone who needs historical-based fiction to be 100% accurate, this was just a very odd choice, that HONESTLY would have worked better with someone like Edgar Allan Poe given the direction it takes. Worth a watch, but probably works better if you can separate the real person from the movie.
lame.
Excellent acting and cinematography. Captured the time period well. Great depiction of psychological conflict and demise. It isn't a biography so don't expect it to be.
