Moss continues to deliver what we crave from woman characters: the kind of messy yet sturdy intricacy many of today’s thinly conceived you-go-girl female superheroes continue to lack. Read full review

Movies that make you think are great, but most of our finest filmmakers attempt that (even sometimes when they shouldn’t). With Leigh Whannell, we have a hyper-competent craftsman who seems like he’d rather make us shit our pants. It’s nice. Read full review

Christopher Machell

By situating the film in the context of domestic abuse, Whannel avoids cliché by evoking the way that distressed women are routinely treated as irrational and disreputable – a theme carried through to the film’s inspired conclusion. Read full review

The fun is watching the shivery details — such as a shot of the back of Cecilia’s neck, in which we can almost feel the sudden scent of a presence — and appreciating the skill of Moss’ performance. Read full review

Moss is good at these roles, so good that she should probably take a break from them. But The Invisible Man is still an excellent vehicle for her; you can’t imagine the film without her. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

Feb 24, 2020

By the time the film begins approaching the two-hour point, the feeling sets in that perhaps Whannell is stretching his conceit a bit too far for its own good. But it’s hard to deny his ingenuity and flair with genre tropes and keeping his audience somewhere approaching the edge of its collective seat. Read full review

"Saw" writer Leigh Whannell mixes metaphors in this limp remake, using gaslighting and privacy fears for his uneven sci-fi horror. Read full review

A brilliant update. Great atmosphere construction, I was tense most of the film. The scenes that suggest a presence (even if we are not seeing it) are sensational.

An Invisible Man entry fit for the 2020's. Elizabeth Moss is a powerhouse and the score/cinematography keeps up. There are a few suspense/horror cliches and predicable turns but overall this anxiety-inducing journey pays off nicely. 87/100 LeisureFeature.com

The classic old story gets an upscale reinvention in The Invisible Man while also shedding light into the social menace of sadistic men who manipulate the women who love them through physical and mental abuse with the plot focusing more on the psychological effects of such a relationshipThe classic old story gets an upscale reinvention in The Invisible Man while also shedding light into the social menace of sadistic men who manipulate the women who love them through physical and mental abuse with the plot focusing more on the psychological effects of such a relationship where Elisabeth Moss acts like she's living the character and single-handedly shoulders the film into a solid entertainer with some great CGI-induced mind-blowing action sequences as well as a haunting score that overall enhances the appeal of the film as you self-quarantine yourself in these trying times.

A solid 7/10 and deserves a watch. Skip the trailers tho as there are quite a few spoilers in them.

Sometimes good camera work, questionable plot twist, many plot holes, maybe even enjoyable when you watch it with friends.

Extremely stupid...
I wasted my time and money watching it.
The beginning was stupid, the middle of it was also stupid, and the ending as a whole was unrealistic and a female ego power stroke for SJW ideology.
