It has its moments and looks great. But creator of "Frankenstein" deserves a better film than this Romantic soap opera.

Respectable, but dull and tedious.

Mary Shelley wants to be a film about artistic creation and female liberation. And, to a degree, it is. But it's so flat and poorly paced that it just feels like a squandered opportunity of monstrous proportions.

Mary Shelley is a dull, tame and disappointingly conventional biopic that almost never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

It's a deeply conventional movie about ragingly unconventional people.

Mary Shelley isn't a perfect movie...But the movie performs an important task: It gets people eager to learn more about Shelley, one of the most fascinating women in English history.

It's undercut by the hazy, magical realist aesthetic, the general insufferable nature of the men and the fact that a work that strives to be a serious, feminist piece too often feels like gothic romantic fiction.

Well-mannered, largely accurate to the facts and pretty to look at, it fails to convey what it must have been like to be an artist so out of step with her time.

[I]t starts to feel like Mary playing second fiddle to her work and the man she loves.

Interesting but uneven drama about famous female author.

The director and her star make their point under the meticulously appointed cover of the film's 18th-century setting, but they make it plainly, cleanly, and with fire.

Don't expect anyone to shout, 'It's alive!' as they depart the theater.
