Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones in “Invisible Woman” period drama trailer

A new trailer for The Invisible Woman has been released, Digital Spy said.

The period drama stars Ralph Fiennes as the famous author Charles Dickens and Felicity Jones as his mistress.

The Invisible Woman tells the story of Dickens's secret affair with the young Nelly Ternan, who became his secret lover until his death.

The film – which was directed by Fiennes – also stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Michelle Fairley and Tom Hollander.

Fiennes has featured in movies including Wrath of the Titans and Skyfall in the years since the Harry Potter franchise concluded.

Jones previously appeared in Like Crazy and Hysteria throughout her career. She will also star in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

"A revelatory performance by 29-year-old rising star Felicity Jones (“Like Crazy”) is the chief but hardly only virtue of “The Invisible Woman,” a superior piece of grist for the “Masterpiece Theater”/Merchant Ivory mill, so tastefully mounted and brilliantly acted that it wears down even the corset-phobic’s innate resistance to such things.

Indeed, this second feature directing effort for Ralph Fiennes (following 2011’s “Coriolanus”) is that rare Brit costumer that feels vibrantly alive, pulsing with subtle eroticism as it charts the little-known affair of Charles Dickens and the 18-year-old Ellen “Nelly” Ternan.

Bolstered by the added attraction of seeing Fiennes reteamed with his “English Patient” co-star Kristin Scott Thomas, this exceptionally classy Sony Classics release should romance highbrow arthouse auds during the competitive Christmas frame, while generating awards talk for Jones, Fiennes and an excellent tech package," a review published at Variety said.
