'The Invisible Woman' review - Embodies energy and vitality of Dickens

This is Ralph Fiennes' second film as director/star after playing the lead and directing Shakespeare’s "Coriolanus." This kind of total immersion and control has paid off, especially for one who surprisingly knew little of this beloved figure initially (and the control allows him to cast friends like Kristin Scott Thomas, his co-star in "The English Patient").

Much like the Dickens in this film — who relishes multitasking as a stage director, orator, actor, tireless philanthropist, and philanderer — Fiennes clearly enjoys being an actor/director. His total commitment and involvement is very evident on the screen, where he very much embodies the energy and vitality of the great man.
