Critic Reviews for Invisible Life

All Critics (74) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (69) | Rotten (5)

  • Hélène Louvart's beautiful and evocative cinematography adds much to the melodrama. The colors are vibrant and the frame shifts are seamless.

    Josh Kupecki

    Austin Chronicle

  • Invisible Life is constructed on heightened emotional intensity in an everyday domestic milieu, with discreet touches of narrative contrivance playing their part--

    Jonathan Romney

    Film Comment Magazine

  • Let's just say there's closure: It isn't shocking, but rather a heartbreaking one - a bookend to the long, sad story that delivers, in contrast to all the dismal developments that have come before it, a kind of bittersweet satisfaction.

    Michael O'Sullivan

    Washington Post

  • By the end, you will feel like you've been somewhere, and you know these people. Guida and Euridice just might stay with you for a long time.

    Mick LaSalle

    San Francisco Chronicle

  • This is a perfectly beautiful movie, although so deeply painful.

    Tim Cogshell

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • [The ending] belatedly transforms Invisible Life from a logy, overlong present-tense story into a tenuous but moving expression of personal memory.
