What the critics say average 5.4 from 5 outlets
- 8.0 The Hollywood ReporterDeborah Young
"A passionate film about a woman's ideas (...) Despite some weaknesses in history and rhythm, Al Mansour and actress Elle Fanning achieve many good things."
Read - 7.0 Screen DailyAllan Hunter
"The result is an intelligent balance between romantic drama and literary biography (...) The script delights in the way words can excite, provoke and seduce".
Read - 5.0 VarietyAndrew Barker
"Filmed in an impressive way and with an honest feminist flare, the film is weakened by a confused and clumsy script and an important lack of thematic focus".
Read - 4.5 The WrapSteve Pond
"Although 'Mary Shelley' has its exciting moments, many of them thanks to Shelley's prose, tend to lose the thread in the pretentious parts of the melodrama".
Read - 2.5 The PlaylistKevin Jagernauth
"A movie that desperately needs an electric shock, 'Mary Shelley' is just another cinematic corpse on the table."
