Shirley

*Please read our important information about our Covid-19 safety precautions before visiting.*

Elisabeth Moss gives a tour-de-force performance as Shirley Jackson, one of the greatest horror writers of the 20th Century, in this unconventional biopic from the brilliant mind of director Josephine Decker (Madeline's Madeline) and executive producer Martin Scorsese. Jackson is on the precipice of writing her masterpiece when the arrival of newlyweds upends her meticulous routine and heightens tensions in her already tempestuous relationship with her philandering husband. The middle-aged couple, prone to ruthless barbs and copious afternoon cocktails, begins to toy mercilessly with the naïve young couple at their door.

"A psychologically layered portrait of unapologetic womanhood that’s dangerously sensual and sumptuously rebellious." - CARLOS AGUILAR, THE WRAP
