We could not have picked a different movie to the previous night's Wolf of Wall Street. Rather than a film about money, with a lot of sex going on, The Invisible Woman was a film about sex, with virtually nothing going on.Set in the 1830s, It's the story of a middle-aged Charles Dickens and his love affair with an 18-year old fan. Ralph Fiennes is impeccable as Dickens, the father of 10 who became bored with his long-suffering wife, and took a fancy to Nelly Ternan, played by Felicity Jones.
It's tough picking out the high points here because, aside from superb acting there was very little going on worth talking about.
A gentle movie, soporific even. It was tough watching this in the fully reclining leather chairs at The Embarcadero theater zzzzzzzz.
