Few contemporary filmmakers are as adept at balancing attention to detail and technical prowess with genuine emotional heft as Academy Award-winning filmmaker Del Toro (<i>Pan’s Labyrinth</i>, <i>The Shape of Water</i>). His take on Shelley’s masterpiece movingly captures the sense of isolation and yearning, while creating a fugue of dread and elemental horror. Goth is outstanding as Elizabeth and Elordi delivers a heart-stealing performance as the monster.</div><div><br></div><div><div>--</div><div><br></div><div>A gothic dream. The most gorgeous sets, the most beautiful costumes, and the most stunning performances. A very brief but worthwhile appearance of Victorian Edinburgh. Definitely best viewed on the big screen!</div><div><br></div><div><i>Written by Miriam Donaghey, Cinema Duty Manager</i></div></div>DramaPT2H29M152025-10-24
