Engeland, 1883. De getrouwde Charles Dickens ontmoet op een dag de jonge Nelly, een ambitieuze actrice die een rol in één van zijn toneelstukken heeft weten te bemachtigen. Hij is onder de indruk van haar acteertalent én van haar schoonheid. Al gauw wordt ze Dickens' muze en de focus van zijn passie. Maar geheimhouding van de relatie is de prijs die ze moeten betalen, waardoor Nelly veroordeeld is tot een onzichtbaar bestaan. (September Film)

Ralph Fiennes will likely be well-regarded by critics because he directs films that fairly accurately capture the time period and environment, and are capable of evoking strong emotions, even though they don't try to be pleasant to the viewer. Instead, they seem to deter through their pace and structure. I liked Coriolanus a bit more, but even that isn't a film for the masses. I wasn't impressed with the film.

Ralph Fiennes is an outstanding actor, one of the best of our time, but unfortunately, not a great director. This is his second film that feels like a traditional, almost Shakespearean dialogue-heavy piece, set in a period atmosphere but with situations that are completely baffling. The film drags on, and when it finally tries to hit you with tragedy, it does so in such a clumsy way that you’re more likely to laugh than cry.

Tasteful, clear, and sensitive. This is exactly what you get in this biography of Charles Dickens as seen through the eyes of Ralph Fiennes. I recommend it particularly to fans of Great Expectations. Austen's biography Becoming Jane is similarly good.
