Review of The Invisible Woman (2013) by Foxgrove — 26 Dec 2013
Foxgrove Dec 25, 20135Some what plodding costume drama about the secret mistress of Charles Dickens that tends to give the genre a bad name. Ralph Fiennes is slow to satisfactorily embody the role but his performance does improve with time.
The wonderful Kristin Scott Thomas is shamefully wasted and Felicity Jones is vacuous as the title character. It's all rather staid and boring, but there is a terrific train crash which temporarily jolts one back in to life and also a dignified turn by Joanna Scanlan as Dickens' wife.
The music score is awful and totally out of key with the rest of the film.
