TheWrap
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. - 70
Wall Street Journal
Of the 7,000 Jews who resisted, about 1,700 survived. The stories of these four don’t constitute high drama; there’s none of the dramatic clarity of “Schindler’s List.” But they testify to that part of the human spirit concerned with ironic humor, improbable daring and unlikely generosity. - 70
Los Angeles Times
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. - 70
Arizona Republic
The Invisibles is part documentary and part feature film. For most of the movie, it's a good thing. - 63
RogerEbert.com
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. - 63
Observer
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. - 63
Boston Globe
The Invisibles favors quantity of remembrance over quality of any one experience. - 50
Slant Magazine
The film doesn’t bring to light otherwise unexplored aspects of the experience or memory of persecution and genocide.
