Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

rainabosniac Yes, it could have been mistaken for one, as most biographies are, but I can assure you that it is not. The feel this movie gave off was quite old without it seeming like a typical period drama. Absolutely loved it, such a stunning film and the first I have seen about Mary Shelley's life.I passed a cinema in Cambridge where this film was being shown and little did I know that it had only come out in select theatres. Finding it on the internet was a pain, so, if you see it anywhere, go watch it immediately, it's not as accessible as one might want it to be.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of Mary, the daughter of two literary stars. The story concentrates on her life, and the circumstances which inspired her famous story "Frankenstein".The story is very good because it captures emotions wonderfully. From love, jealousy, loneliness, disappointment, arrogance and despair, emotions are skilfully displayed on screen. I find the story captivating, and I am drawn to the characters' less than fortunate world.

Abbass Akkoush An important decent movie with some great performances & beautiful plot. A true story of Mary Godwin that got inspired by her miserable life & love affair to write her first masterpiece & how she struggled as a female author to get her chance of publishing.

ttmlevigan Elle Fanning is awesome in this film (as always) but the script tried to cover too much time and we're left with beautiful snippets that spark interest but are never fully satisfying - as soon as we get into a bit of story, we suddenly move-on and too many threads are left untied. I enjoyed the spectacle, but they maybe bit-off too much!
