What the Critics are saying:
Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes
"Its deliberate pace will frustrate some viewers, but for fans of handsomely mounted period drama, The Invisible Woman offers visual as well as emotional cinematic nourishment."
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
"The Invisible Woman is an exceptional film about love, longing and regret. It's further proof, if proof were needed, that classic filmmaking done with passion, sensitivity and intelligence results in cinema fully capable of blowing you away."
Variety
Scott Foundas
"So tastefully mounted and brilliantly acted that it wears down even the corset-phobic’s innate resistance to such things."
The Hollywood Reporter
Todd McCarthy
"A career high point for Ralph Fiennes as both an actor and director, this unfussy and emotionally penetrating work also provides lead actress Felicity Jones with the prime role in which she abundantly fulfills the promise suggested in some of her earlier small films."
New York Magazine (Vulture)
David Edelstein
"With her swanlike neck and ever-flushing complexion, Felicity Jones has a perfect nineteenth-century look, but there’s something forward and modern about her physiognomy, her huge eyes and strong nose and overbite. As she gazes down in enforced modesty, you feel her soul about to burst. The performance is startlingly vivid."
Village Voice
Nick Schager
"The Invisible Woman finds Ralph Fiennes proving as adept behind the camera as he is in front of it."
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
"The film represents a formidable achievement for Fiennes as both actor and director."
