Critics Consensus: Despite Jordana Brewster's strong performance, The Invisible Circus lacks the necessary dramatic tension to be interesting. Also, the cultural and political contexts of the period are barely explored.

Picturesque European locations, a mystery whose successive folds will be uncovered by Faith's ex-boyfriend (Christopher Eccleston, in a ratty wig he will have to live down for years), and some heavily psychological sermonizing.
Strangely dispassionate and uncommitted for a movie about passionate commitment.
A movie for people who are so sensitive they barely notice the feelings of others or what's going on in the world.
A woefully tame and pallid affair.
The film is overnarrated and in spots overwritten, but Brooks ... does well with actors, and he has coaxed an extraordinary performance out of the young Jordana Brewster.
Part beautifully shot European travelogue and part moving exploration of the darker side of the hippie era's rabid idealism.
Okay for older teens, but nothing special.
Adam Brooks' film is a total miss, both as a potentially intriguing look into the tumultuous politics of the 1960s and 1970s and as a coming of age of a girl obsessed with her sister's mysterious death
Whenever Brooks hits a stride, the mystery element takes over, and that crudely formed aspect of the film overwhelms what is fully functional.
Cameron Diaz and Christopher Eccleston? Good. Jordana Brewster? Actorly indication, stilted line readings and nostril-flaring petulance. The result? A bad day at the Circus.
By the time the uninspiring finale occurs the audience is completely lost in boredom and longing for the credits.
It's one big cliché of sentimental drivel.
I don't know who keeps giving hippies money to make movies, but I wish they'd stop.
