Critic Reviews for The Invisibles

All Critics (31) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (9)

  • It always feels a little awkward and a little jumpy, but the stories themselves are fascinating.

    Christy Lemire

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • The Invisibles, about humans as living ghosts, needs to be seen, and believed.

    April 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Brad Wheeler

    Globe and Mail

  • "The Invisibles" favors quantity of remembrance over quality of any one experience. It's worth attending to, obviously, even if the movie somehow manages to do less with more.

    February 20, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    Ty Burr

    Boston Globe

  • Following four survivors, "The Invisibles" is part documentary and part feature film. For most of the movie, it's a good thing.

    January 31, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

    Samantha Incorvaia

    Arizona Republic

  • Amazingly, the actors are so engaging and believable, and the facts are so riveting, that the movie, despite its flaws, held me spellbound.

    Rex Reed

    Observer

  • Documentaries with dramatized re-creations are an elusive genre. Can the re-created passages do justice to the factual or historical material? The answer is yes in the case of The Invisibles.
