The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerApr 4, 2019
The ironic twist at the movie’s end is a nice touch. The Invisibles, about humans as living ghosts, needs to be seen, and believed. Read full review

The Invisibles is a powerful testament to the remarkable courage of those forced into heroism, and to the exceptional strength of those who chose it freely. Read full review

Arizona RepublicSamantha IncorvaiaJan 31, 2019
The Invisibles is part documentary and part feature film. For most of the movie, it's a good thing. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinJan 24, 2019
Although this movie’s unusual mix of first-person interviews, archival footage, voiceover narration and dramatic reenactments is a bit awkward, it still makes for a gripping, involving and affecting experience. Read full review

Of the 7,000 Jews who resisted, about 1,700 survived.

The result is half docudrama, half suspense thriller with the constant threat of seeming artificial and fictional. Amazingly, the actors are so engaging and believable, and the facts are so riveting, that the movie, despite its flaws, held me spellbound. Read full review

A film like The Invisibles is part of bearing "precise witness." We clearly need reminders, and constant ones, of the end result of "otherizing" an entire group of people. Read full review

Neither version of the film — the talking-heads documentary or the period drama — has the depth to achieve much impact. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisJan 24, 2019
Hearing from these survivors is vitally important. But by smushing together two distinct styles of narrative, The Invisibles risks draining the power from both. Read full review

The film doesn’t bring to light otherwise unexplored aspects of the experience or memory of persecution and genocide. Read full review
