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.

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

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.

The Invisibles favors quantity of remembrance over quality of any one experience.

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.

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

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