Synopsis
Miss Marx (2020) is Susanna Nicchiarelli's biographical drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. It follows Eleanor Marx — Karl's youngest daughter, a translator and labour organizer too often filed away as a footnote to her father.
Romola Garai gives Eleanor no halo: sharp, funny, fiercely committed, and tied to the wrong man. Edward Aveling (Patrick Kennedy) drains her money and her loyalty while she campaigns against child labour and translates Madame Bovary into English. Her public fire and her private wreckage pull in opposite directions.
Nicchiarelli breaks the period mold on purpose, scoring corsets and gaslight with post-punk so Eleanor seems to strain toward our century. The film premiered in competition at Venice. If polished biopics bore you, its nerve is the draw. Stream Miss Marx (2020) online on iFILM.
