Romantic, artistic, and mythic ambitions mingle in the circle of Romantic poets a young Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (Elle Fanning) finds herself apart of. In this origin-story biopic treatment, the creation of Godwin’s first novel,Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus, and her burgeoning relationship with Percy Shelley (Douglas Booth) are given equal emphasis as convention-flouting creative acts.
