Mary Shelley Review Conclusion
I would watch it again – An enjoyable film that took you through Mary Shelley’s life rather fast. It is, of course, difficult to fit an entire person’s life into the length of a film and so this small irritation is forgivable since so many things happened to help create the book. It was particularly fun to see who and where she encountered other writers and how they reacted to her as a woman writer. Mary Shelley gives an interesting look into the times and inspirations that went into creating her monster.
4 Stars
You’re going to want a good hot drink, perhaps with a little brandy in to warm you up. A good, thick, pork and dripping sandwich or a bowl of stew and crusty bread wouldn’t go amiss either.
