Reviews for Invincible
One of [Herzog's] least inspired works.
11/22/02
After one gets the feeling that the typical Hollywood disregard for historical truth and realism is at work here, it's a matter of finding entertainment in the experiences of Zishe and the fiery presence of Hanussen.

Top CriticA unique visual work.

...the naivete of his performance has a humbling effect on a film that, while entirely too long and short on sizzling imagery, is meant to be taken simply as folkloric.

Invincible is a wonderful movie.

The invincible Werner Herzog is alive and well and living in LA
10/07/02
Though few will argue that it ranks with the best of Herzog's works, Invincible shows he's back in form, with an astoundingly rich film.
10/25/02
Even if Invincible is not quite the career peak that The Pianist is for Roman Polanski, it demonstrates that Werner Herzog can still leave us with a sense of wonder at the diverse, marvelously twisted shapes history has taken.
02/03/03
Invincible approaches history as myth, striving not to document reality, but to penetrate its tragic essence.

The true story of a Jewish strongman who became a symbol of Aryan power and glory
11/14/02
Herzog has created something resembling a fairy tale.
10/21/02
It's an unusual, thoughtful bio-drama with a rich subject and some fantastic moments and scenes.
10/03/02
Top CriticHerzog, a man of detail became enraptured with his subject and was unable to use his editing shears.
05/11/03
Half-baked Herzog, though it has twinkles of theatrical purity that remind you of when his vision was grand.
10/04/02
Top CriticRemarkably accessible and affecting.
10/04/02
Top CriticNot the best Herzog perhaps, but unmistakably Herzog.
