September 15, 2009One sympathises with the girl trying to find out what happened to her big sister, but much of the story doesn't ring true. The scene where she goes mad doesn't lead anywhere. Plus one star for having Cameron Diaz.

April 29, 2009I really didn't find this movie very interesting. It had a good story to it, but like I wasn't really into it, this movie was kind of flat.

June 18, 2007The story is beautifully told in showing how people may find their true identity in exploring to the beyond, it's just beautiful (And I love Jordana Brewster, so happy she flashed there :P)

Charles Taylor, Salon.com
A movie for people who are so sensitive they barely notice the feelings of others or what's going on in the world. Full Review

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle

David Edelstein, Slate
The film is overnarrated and in spots overwritten, but Brooks ... does well with actors, and he has coaxed an extraordinary performance out of the young Jordana Brewster. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
For whatever reason, Brooks has decided to distance his characters from the audience, and the result is a cold, uninvolving experience. Full Review

John Anderson, Newsday

A.O. Scott, New York Times
The Invisible Circus ... doesn't so much illuminate Phoebe's confusion as share it. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Another murky film about the 1970s that's watchable mostly for its cast rather than the story.

Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
