Elizabeth Moss shines in psychodrama «Shirley»

Premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, Josephine Decker’s new film «Shirley» is gathering the buzz again after arriving on Hulu.

If you’re looking for a biopic about the renowned horror writer Shirley Jackson, this movie is not quite it. The movie starring Elizabeth Moss is dubbed already as more of a «biographical-literary fantasia that freely mixes fact and fiction». You couldn’t expect a conventional film from Josephine Decker, who previously directed an experimental «Madeline’s Madeline», an acclaimed debut at the Sundance Film Festival two years ago. Blurring of art and life, mental illness as a source of creative energy — «Shirley» offers a fascinating glimpse into an artist’s mind.
