Telluride Film Festival Review: Ralph Fiennes Directs Himself As Charles Dickens In 'The Invisible Woman,' But It's Felicity Jones Who Shines
Ralph Fiennes' quasi-modern adaptation of "Coriolanus," which marked the actor's directorial debut, was a sharply experimental take on the source material. For his second effort behind the camera, "The Invisible Woman," the director has taken a more classical approach. Adapting Claire Tomalin's book about Ellen Ternan, the actress most famous for her affair with Charles Dickens while nearly 30 years his junior, Fiennes takes on the Dickens role and coaxes a fantastic performance out of Felicity Jones as Ternan. Though suffering from dry patches and a fairly mannered approach, "The Invisible Woman" eventually makes its way to a powerful final third documenting an ultimately tragic romance in deeply felt terms. It's no Shakespeare, but Fiennes makes the story resonate all the same. ( +++Collapse )Felicity Jones To Appear On Season 3 Of 'Girls'
Earlier last month, Felicity was spotted on set of HBO's
Girls and was mentioned by director Jesse Peretz on twitter. Felicity's mentioned before about being a big fan of the show, so glad she could become a part of it!

Last but not least, I recently watched Chris Evans' Q&A and he mentioned Felicity as one of the actors/actresses he loves to watch. How nice! Here's the video (he talks about Felicity around the 9:00 mark, he also mentions being inspired by
Like Crazy some time later...)
