The film is inspired by the life of Shirley Jackson (Elisabeth Moss) who wrote horror stories. Her husband Hyman (Michael Stuhlbarg) teaches at the university and has numerous affairs. Hyman hires Fred (Logan Lerman) to help him. He comes along with Rose, his pregnant wife (Odessa Young). The relationship are not normal even for abnormal relationships. At times I felt I was watching a scene out of Virginia Woolfe. Shirley starts to write again and Rose helps her. She uses the disappearance of a local college girl as her subject.
I felt there were missing scenes and deleted dialogue, i.e. something I missed. I wish I had read the Wiki-biography before I watched the film.
