Miss Marx (out Mar 3) is a drama that looks at a series of events in the life of English socialist Eleanor Marx (Romola Garai) between her father's death in 1883 through to her own death in 1898. The costumes and sets (with a splash of archival footage) help capture the period but the dreary dialogue (including several monologues) and choppy storyline make it difficult to be deeply invested in this character. Grade: C+.
