Résumés(1)
In the 1850s, Ellen Ternan is a minimally talented actress who catches the eye of the hailed British author, Charles Dickens. Bored with his intellectually unstimulating wife, Dickens takes the educated Ellen has his mistress with the cooperation of her mother. What follows is a stormy relationship with this literary giant who provides her with a life few women of her time can enjoy. Yet, Ellen is equally revolted by Charles' emotional cruelty and determination to keep her secret. In that conflict, Ellen must judge her own role in her life and decide if the price she pays is bearable. (CoolConnections)

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.

Ralph Fiennes will be fairly recognized by critics because he directs films that can accurately capture the time and environment and are capable of captivating strong emotions, even though they do not try to be pleasing to the viewer, rather as if they discourage them with their pace and structure. I liked "Coriolanus" a little more, but even this is not a mass-pleasing film. It didn't impress me in any way.
