Movie #902 "The Invisible Woman" "should" have been a thoroughly enjoyable movie to me....1) Ralph Fiennes is in it and as a bonus, he directs it 2) it is about Charles Dickens, and 3) it was supposed to be about the relationship he was in with the actress Ellen, besides being married all those years, with 8 kids............. Okay, I get the title ---- Ellen felt invisible --- she was Dickens' muse and she was very much in love with him, but she was "Kept" in a house far away from his adoring public ---- she had no identity, per say. Well, this all might sound intriguing, but this film was a total bore. Slow moving, not much of a story, but pretty costumes. And, of course, Ralph Fiennes, which is usually a bonus for me. And it's about Charles Dickens, another bonus, but no such luck. I do not recommend this movie to really anybody. I'm glad I saw it...........it gives an interp on why Dickens should not have written two endings to his novel Great Expectations (it was said in some dialogue), and I'm glad I heard that. But that's about it.
The Invisible Woman2013R111 minutes I give it 2 stars out of 5.
Ralph Fiennes directs and stars in this drama about the affair Charles Dickens began with a teen actress while at the height of his career. Felicity Jones plays the young thespian who catches Dickens's eye, and Kristin Scott Thomas plays her mom.
