Top CriticThough 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
Top CriticFeels less like a change in [Herzog's] personal policy than a half-hearted fluke.
10/18/02
Top CriticRemarkably accessible and affecting.
10/04/02
Top CriticA strange but oddly memorable film.
10/04/02
Top CriticMore of a career curio than a major work.
10/04/02
Top CriticHalf-baked Herzog, though it has twinkles of theatrical purity that remind you of when his vision was grand.
10/04/02
Top CriticThe movie has the power of a great silent film, unafraid of grand gestures and moral absolutes.
10/04/02
Top CriticInvincible works, simply but provocatively, as a parable about the oppressed and the oppressors, victimhood and fanaticism.
10/03/02
Top CriticIt's an unusual, thoughtful bio-drama with a rich subject and some fantastic moments and scenes.
10/03/02
Top CriticA tremendous piece of work.
09/23/02
Top CriticAfter 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.
09/23/02
Top CriticIt's difficult for a longtime admirer of his work to not be swept up in Invincible and overlook its drawbacks.
09/20/02
Top CriticHerzog's intentions are clearly noble, but unless you care to wait for the moments when Roth picks up the film and carries it on his back, back off.
09/20/02
Top CriticEmbellished with touches of magic realism and washed in a voluptuous quasi-Wagnernian score, Invincible, when at its best, is almost as seductive as Hanussen's games of smoke and mirrors.
09/20/02
Top CriticIt's depressing to see how far Herzog has fallen.
09/20/02
Top CriticHerzog fails to find the visual heart of Zishe's story.
