Re: Shirley (2020) Elizabeth Moss delivers once again a pretty fantastic performance and I also thought Odessa Young and Michael Stuhlbarg were really good in this too, but I honestly just couldn't get that invested in the story since I never actually cared all that much for the characters themselves. From a technical aspect its very well made though and the direction is certainly not the problem, but unfortunately it just wasn't for me.

Re: Shirley (2020) Elizabeth Moss is again great in this but it feels this is the type of role she could have added an extra layer of menace other than the physicality. I haven't seen Odessa Young before this but she is equally great in this, Michael Stuhlbarg's character gets alive towards the end whereas Logan Lerman was wasted in here. The finale was rushed and I never believed or cared for the younger couple's relation to make this effective. Its made really nice and in comparison the recent biopics its a good and different take.
