Mary Shelley smooths out its subject's fascinating life and fails to communicate the spark of her classic work, undermining fine period detail and a solid Elle Fanning performance.

The movie is still well executed but, at two hours, not even Fanning's persuasive performance can elevate it to being more than a moderately interesting historical drama. July 12, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

If it falls short of its ambitions, you have to love that it tries to go for the big story, and that it gives Elle Fanning such a grand role at her tender age. July 12, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's a story of super-heroism in disguise from the early 19th century, in a mostly London-set literary milieu that's captured with curious and probing compassion. July 5, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Everything the characters despised was smugly, triumphantly and safely back in power, at least for the time being. Ignoring this, the filmmakers' attitude owes too much to ahistorical moralizing. August 7, 2020 | Full Review…

'Mary Shelley' is an effective period drama, with a very good central performance from Fanning, backed up by a well-cast support. It tells a story that we all should know about with an interesting visual style. July 2, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

In the light of the #MeToo movement, Shelley's travails are both timeless and topical in a way that rarely aligns. A series of baffling decisions and a weak script unfortunately contribute to undermining her tale and sucking the life from it. February 13, 2020 | Full Review…
