The Invisibles

This captivating fantasy drama hails from Canada, featuring a screenplay co-written by Colin Aussant and Andrew Currie. I must commend Currie's meticulous direction. The narrative is both intriguing and engaging, centering on a man who begins to vanish into a dimension where others like him exist, unnoticed by the outside world.

Initially, I questioned the casting of Tim Blake Nelson as Charlie, especially alongside Gretchen Mol as his wife, Hanna. However, I was pleasantly surprised by their performances, proving my initial doubts wrong. The acting was exceptional!

This remarkable journey of a man fading from reality and discovering a realm inhabited by the INVISIBLES-those who have also disappeared-maintained a perfect pace throughout nearly two hours. I was fully invested in Charlie's struggle to reunite with his wife and embark on a new beginning.

Overall, this well-crafted film offers a delightful family experience where true love ultimately triumphs.

I've taken some time to think about what I watched in regards to this movie. I'll start off by saying that the characters were very well acted. The story however was, for lack of a better term, strange. I mean get what was being told but it just felt awkward. Many of us can kind of relate to the premise of the story. But to be honest it was odd and slightly boring and at the same time I kept watching because I honestly wanted to see where it was going. I do agree with the ending though because once you get through it you can see, what I thought was the point of the whole movie. This is why I gave this movie 5 stars. I will say I will not be watching this again. So if you are looking for something that ends on a profound note but gets there in an odd way then this is probably just what you're looking for. On to the next.

The word "purgatory" is never uttered, as far as I can remember, but both my wife and I viewed it that way, Charlie was in a type of purgatory.

Tim Blake Nelson (who also was Producer) is Charlie. His wife is Gretchen Mol as Hannah. As the movie begins she reminds him of the "session." They seem happy with each other, as they part one says "Love you", the other says "Love you too." So we sensed they had a difficult loss, perhaps a child, and were having difficulty getting past that.

The title is a literal reference, Charlie starts to become invisible. It starts when he is on the city train and a man comes up and sits on his lap. "Sorry, I didn't see you." It progresses until even his wife can no longer see him or hear him talking.

The audience has no idea what is happening, and Charlie has no idea what is happening. Until he wanders into an old bowling alley and encounters Bruce Greenwood as Carl the bartender. Carl sees and hears Charlie, as well as several others there. They are all in a type of purgatory, for a number of different reasons.

To write more would be introducing spoilers, but as the story moves along it is a well-conceived and well-written fable about how to deal with grief and how to get your "mojo" back.

My wife and I enjoyed it, streaming on Prime.

I just watched The Invisibles and it really stuck with me. Tim Blake Nelson is phenomenal, bringing this raw vulnerability to his character that's just heartbreaking. Gretchen Mol is equally magnetic-she adds so much depth to the story, especially when it dives into themes of loss and redemption. Director Andrew Currie creates this world where the unseen isn't just a metaphor, but a reflection of how people can feel invisible in society and in their own lives. It's a powerful meditation on what it means to be seen-or not seen-in a world that feels fractured. Honestly, it's one of those movies that makes you think long after the credits roll. Definitely a must watch.

Here's a polished version of your review:

"The Invisibles" is a lovely and deeply moving film that masterfully explores love, loss, and mourning. It's rare to find a movie with such subtlety and emotional depth. The main actors deliver fantastic performances, bringing authenticity and heart to their roles. The script is creative, the music and ambience are beautifully crafted, and the originality of the theme is refreshing. This film stands out as a truly unique and poignant experience. If only more films were made with this level of care and artistry! A must-watch for those who appreciate meaningful cinema.
