HIFF is honored to work with NEON on the virtual cinema release of the Sundance award winning film SHIRLEY, starring #HIFF39 Career Achievement Award honoree Elisabeth Moss (THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE HANDMAID’S TALE, MAD MEN), which opens this Friday, June 5, at HIFF Virtual Cinema!

“A perversely entertaining take on a brief period of Shirley Jackson’s life gives Elisabeth Moss one of her most daring roles to date.” — The Guardian

“A psychologically layered portrait of unapologetic womanhood that’s dangerously sensual and sumptuously rebellious.” — The Wrap

“Elisabeth Moss is phenomenal.” — Slashfilm

SHIRLEY (2020 / 107 min / Rated R)
Directed by Josephine Decker
Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Michael Stuhlbarg, Odessa Young, Logan Lerman

Synopsis: Renowned horror writer Shirley 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.
