Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"[T]he movie stakes a claim for new mystery-horror territory worthy of a talent like Elisabeth Moss, who amplifies the qualities of the script with a top-shelf woman-in-severe-jeopardy performance." - 02/24/2020 Hollywood Reporter
"[I]ngenious and entertaining...the thrills don’t just goose you; they have an emotional import. This gratifyingly clever and, at times, powerfully staged thriller is too rooted in our era to be called old-fashioned..." - 02/24/2020 Variety
4 stars out of 4 -- "[A] sophisticated sci-fi-horror that dares to turn a woman’s often silenced trauma from a toxic relationship into something unbearably tangible." - 02/27/2020 RogerEbert.com
"Whannell does a lot that’s smart here, including the way he uses bodies in rooms." - 02/02/2020 New York Times
4 stars out of 5 -- "THE INVISIBLE MAN owes its power to the uncommon talent and ingenuity of Moss. She’s dynamite..." - 02/25/2020 Rolling Stone

"Whannell’s film is a decidedly contemporary update, a version that owes very little to Wells’s original spooky tale." - 02/27/2020 The Atlantic
4 stars out of 5 -- "The subtle approach is incredibly effective, and a reminder of how horror doesn’t always have to be frantic to raise dread." - 02/25/2020 Empire
"[A] gaslighting thriller expertly retooled by writer-director Leigh Whannell for the era of #MeToo." - 04/07/2020 Los Angeles Times
"The voyeurlike camerawork -- lingering on every nook and cranny, insisting on empty spaces -- gives the film a distinctive thrill, and the pacing is characterised by slow build-ups over racing emotions." - 12/11/2020 Sight and Sound
"Director Leigh Whannell creates a thoroughly modern monster in this thriller starring Elisabeth Moss as a young woman controlled by her wealthy sociopath boyfriend..." - 12/22/2020 USA Today
