Rob P @robertpenakatytx Aug 15, 2026 Great bio story; fairly accurate from what I’ve read. As a fan of Mary Shelley, horror and historical films- this one nailed it for me ! See more Rumour T @LordOuroboros Mar 2, 2026 Never before have I seen a movie be as offensive to the muse as this one. This is supposed to be FOR Mary Shelley fans and accurate and it achieves neither. Not to mention the horrendous pacing. I’d much rather spend those two hours actually reading a biography about Mary than watching this because at least it’d be productive and somehow less boring than this. I honestly think the inaccuracies are downplayed in many other reviews, considering the main point of a biopic is to be BASED OFF the life of the person in it. Instead, it follows the "Percy mistreated Mary" pipeline which really ruins the whole movie. On top of that, the casting for Percy was horrible and looks nothing like him. Overall, this movie only gets a 0.5 from me because of the acting of Elle Fanning and Tom Sturridge, they really made this movie bearable despite the horrendous script.

"Mary Shelley" tal vez peca de tener una primera hora y media algo plana; el conflicto no es aburrido, pero carece de un planteamiento que resulte especialmente interesante más allá de los hermosos diseños de producción y las locaciones. Sin embargo, los últimos 30 minutos son verdaderamente hermosos. Desde que los protagonistas llegan a casa de Lord Byron, surge un intercambio de ideas y un guion tan pulido que, en el punto climático, es casi imposible no emocionarse. La historia se desarrolla con el contexto justo para que, una vez que todas las piezas del rompecabezas se unen, logren un cierre inmejorable. Sin victimizarla, la narrativa hace que empatices con cómo la tragedia y la soledad han acompañado a Mary prácticamente desde su nacimiento. Una vez que ves esta película, nunca vuelves a ver a Frankenstein de la misma forma.

I especially liked Bel Powley's work here with a character I didn't know existed. Doesn't spend much time on the Frankenstein story, which suits me, but it connects well with Mary's story.

The USA grossed over $97,300.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Mike W @MikeW269 Jul 22, 2025 I liked the movie more than enjoyed it and recommend people see it if they have interest in the Romanticist period of authors and poetry. The movie improved my understanding of Mary and Percy Shelley's lives, and Byron's. See more Read all reviews
