Capsule Movie Reviews (Jan. 8): 'The Invisible Woman' and two more
New Release
The Invisible Woman
R, 1 Hr., 51 Mins.
It’s a pleasure to see Ralph Fiennes, in the second film he’s directed, abandon his reticence to play Charles Dickens as an ebullient, laughing mensch a Victorian rock star whose literary celebrity masks his hunger for love. Dickens’ wife has borne him 10 children, but the two have little communion. So when he meets Nelly (Felicity Jones), a young actress with a yen for his novels, he falls for her but must keep their bond a secret. Alas, the impeccably shot film dribbles more than it builds. B- —Owen Gleiberman
