   Is Shirley a biopic?

   • "Shirley" isn't a biopic. It's more a film about Jackson, told in the style of one of Jackson's Gothic short stories. Jackson often used doubles and doppelgängers in her work, and there are a couple at play in "Shirley". Shirley is alternately cruel and kind to Rose, keeping Rose perpetually on edge.

   Is 'Shirley' a good movie?

   • With “Shirley” we’re close to almost-not-quite territory, and visually, Ridley sticks with conventional shot sequences of characters in frame, alone, either speaking or reacting. This makes fluidity and interpersonal flow pretty difficult. March 28, 2024 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

   Is 'Shirley' a good book?

   • “Shirley” views itself as a punchy, exciting political dossier, but lacks the attention to detail to make it anything other than a historical summary. It’s terribly one note, holding back on nuance and earned emotion and instead swapping it for ham-fisted bullet points and forced pathos.

   Is Shirley a whole person?

   • Shirley is not written to be a whole person, and by proxy, our emotional investment has a gaping hole. Regina King is excellent, delivering stormy passion and spunk, uttering Chisholm’s words with a power that booms from the depth of her spirit.
