I'd like to congratulate the writer and the director for managing to make such a god awful film about a woman whose life was, and still is, more fascinating and influencial than the most. One would think it's impossible to make a film about Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, a woman who lost her virginity on her mother's grave, so lacking of gothic elements; a film about the woman who invented science fiction so boring. But here it is.

maisie williams’s scottish accent omfg don’t even get me started

douglas booth is ugly as hell

Mary Shelley is braver than the US marines for being a goth who married a prep. Percy Shelley you a bitch

There are a lot of things this movie captures with a stunning performance from Elle Fanning. Mary went through a lot of tough things: loss, betrayal, grief, hurt, and brief moments of fleeting joys. Enjoying Haifaa al-Mansour's film Wadjdia, I definitely wanted to check this out.

Slight parallels can be found with people scoffing at Mary Shelley's ability as a woman and al-Mansour's struggles making her first film in Saudi Arabia, facing extreme limitations because of the attitudes and laws concerning her gender. Haifaa al-Mansour even noted this in the Q&A.

Vegan alerts:
-There is a scene with meat and a stuffed duck on the table.
-There is a headless frog shown. There is an attempt to galvanize/re-animate it.

A colossal waste of an opportunity.

Ağır, romantizm ve ihanet üzerine kurulu bir yapım olmuş. Herkesin beğeneceği bir tada sahip değil, bu nedenle aşırı ağır filmler ve biyografi yapımlarını sevenlere hitap edecektir 👌🏻

Yes, let's reduce the mother of science fiction to a standard romance, no matter the tragedy one may be.

It's pretty disappointing to see a great story about a powerful female writer turns into such a bad film. The emotions look fake and everything seems staged here. The film does not have the power to set the right mood and it stays in surface to ruin the whole excitement for audience.

Love me a period piece and what a tragically beautiful story.

I don't get it. Are they saying Elle Fanning wrote Frankenstein?

an example of how gaslighting and mansplaining always existed
men are pure trash women are perfect beings

Surprisingly delightful.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley deserves better than this. 

BUT THAT DOESN’T GO WITHOUT SAYING THAT THIS WAS A NICE TRY. 

my analysis: act II was the better half

Act I just revolved around their ‘love’ story, that’s fine and dandy but... it could’ve moved faster. I wish they covered the material they covered in half of the time they used. The latter part of Shelley’s life would’ve been AMAZING to see on screen. SIGH.
