À l'ombre des regards

This was done so beautifully that it took my breath away, viewers hit the nail on the button by saying it was a different/hidden gem it truly was so worth skipping the reiviews and just watching this for myself. The characters were typed of people many of us can relate to in this day'n age in some form or other. Breathtaking.

What a great concept! Invisible girl navigates the world, seen by no one, until suddenly one day... a totally hot bouncer at the club spots her. The setup of the movie really is the strongest. It loses a bit of steam as a romance and an MMA story (he's a fighter). But I was engaged enough in the heroine's journey to stay with it and find out what her resolution would be.

First off, Alan Ritchson is a superb and underrated actor! Second, the idea for this movie was refreshingly original! With all the remakes, and remakes and remakes of movies nowadays, it's so refreshing to see an original idea! This is definitely a movie that flew under the radar and I would definitely recommend it!

This movie has a whimsical but sorrowful narrative: a woman is invisible to the world. It isn't science fiction but fantasy and fairy tale. The poignancy of the story is highly relevant as we move out of 2020 into 2021, our past year of quarantine, and being ghosts in our lives.

We can connect with not being seen. Of course for us it is not meant to be literal. We like either for certain people to see us or a general being not just taken for granted by everyone. Having said that, you have to cut the movie a lot of slack and really suspend your disbelief - as much as possible. But because the movie never really explains the "phenomenon", maybe questions like "shouldn't her clothes be visible" and the whole her actually being physically there ... can be left alone.

But again, if you have issues leaving things like that behind you - or if they bug you ... it may not be the best idea to watch the movie. Now leaving all that behind - the movie is an entertaining watch and has quite a few nice things to say. Of course you'll have a love story added to the philosophical aspect of "to be or not to be".

Good performances by everyone involved. Was a bit surprised to see Megan Fox in this one ... especially in a smaller role. But always good to see her - pun intended.
