Synopsis:
Nelly (Felicity Jones), a happily-married mother, is haunted by her past. Her memories, provoked by remorse and guilt, take us back in time to follow the story of her relationship with Charles Dickens (Ralph Fiennes) with whom she discovered an exciting but fragile complicity. Dickens - famous, controlling and emotionally isolated within his success - falls for Nelly. He is a brilliant amateur actor, a man more emotionally coherent on the page or on stage, than in life. As Nelly becomes the focus of Dickens' passion and his muse, for both of them secrecy is the price, and for Nelly a life of "invisibility".

Beautiful ... - The Invisible Woman review by EM

Spoiler Alert
12/05/2015

Not what we were expecting at all. The story kept us riveted until the very end.

OK - the writer does take a couple of liberties with the story - but hey, this a film not a BBC 4 docu biography. The acting is wonderful, the cinematography rich and the lighting suitably atmospheric.

Yes, I agree that you have to keep your wits about you when the flashback happen - but the film is hoping that we are intelligent enough to pick up on that.

Very enjoyable and worth watching.

Promised a lot but gave very little - The Invisible Woman review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
14/01/2015

At the outset this period drama looked excellent. Good cast, and brilliantly filmed. It was however at least 30 minutes too long. There were many long drawn out irrelevant scenes. You then find that you had missed out on anything that was relevant because the story jumped ahead. It was presumed the watcher would know what was going on. All of a sudden Charles Dickens had set up his girlfriend in a house and was having a relationship with her. (When had that happened?) Up until then any involvement with her had just been alluded to. She then had a stillbirth and said a tearful goodbye to Dickens and it later turned out she was still having a relationship with him. Confusing. Sadly I will never get those minutes back that I wasted watching this film.

What the Dickens? - The Invisible Woman review by NC

Spoiler Alert
31/10/2015

Fiennes does the acting thing, again, very well. Not sure how factually based the film is, but is pretty credible. Like the Holmes film, is part BBC supported, so their attention to detail and period shines through.............still object to paying more than my car tax to BBC each year as a form of enforced taxation. Never watch any BBC, so why should over half the populace pay for the other half??
