Ralph Fiennes' 'The Invisible Woman' Opens December 25, Focused On Charles Dickens Affair

The Wrap writes that director Ralph Fiennes “suffers a sophomore slump” with ‘The Invisible Woman’, calling it “a real disappointment, resembling one of those forgettable BBC dramas where women in hoop skirts sit in drawing rooms and state at each other”.

‘The Invisibile Woman’ opens on December 25, with its focus on the relationship between Charles Dickens and his mistress Nelly Ternan. The Wrap completes its terse dissection of ‘The Invisible Woman’, calling it “as stiff and unyielding as a Victorian corset”.

With 21 reviews in, Rotten Tomatoes gives the film 14 Fresh | 7 Rotten.

American Vogue picks up the Dickens theme with its December editorial ‘Dressing Like the Dickens’, with its ragtag cast of characters modeling the season’s “disheveled splendor” with a riff on ‘Oliver Twist’.
