Your MX has a sticking shutter curtain, I think the leading one (it has a
horizontal-running shutter).

Unless you know what you're doing this may not be a DIY thing; I'd
send it to a shop.

Either the shutter lubrication is getting stiff or an escapement is out
of alignment.. One thing though, the rear shutter curtain must close
to allow the mirror to drop. Getting the mirror to drop without that
happening won't cause it to.

up, continuing the exposure.
when I did advance the film, the shutter reset.
Although, this doesn't always happen.
