Cape Argus / The Star Deborah Young Trials of a fiery, free-spirited woman. | 10 | |
24.com Gabi Zietsman For its biographical content, Mary Shelley is an interesting watch if you’re a literary aficionado interested in the Romantics of that time, but on a film-level it fails to deliver an impactful story of a women’s fight for her place in life, encumbered by cliché emotion and rigid writing. | 5 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Mary Shelley smooths out its subject’s fascinating life and fails to communicate the spark of her classic work, undermining fine period detail and a solid Elle Fanning performance. | 7 | |
CommonSenseMedia Sandie Angulo Chen Interesting but uneven drama about famous female author. | 10 | |
