Critics review three films out this weekend that deal with troubled marriages in different ways. “Shirley,” a biopic about horror writer Shirley Jackson, who’s played by Elizabeth Moss from “The Handmaid’s Tale;” “Tommaso,” starring Willem Dafoe and directed by Abel Ferrara, the provocative filmmaker who’s most famous for “Bad Lieutenant;” “Judy and Punch,” about puppeteers who are trying to revive their marionette show.
Elizabeth Moss in ‘Shirley’: This might be my favorite performance from her, says critic
