| RogerEbert.comTomris LafflyMoss 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. |
| SlashfilmChris EvangelistaMoss gives yet another fearless performance – hers is a raw, exposed, physical, and ultimately fierce role, and it’s often stunning to watch the manic energy in her eyes as she attacks a scene. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperElisabeth Moss delivers the best performance of her film career, carrying the story every step of the way. |
| TheWrapWilliam BibbianiThere’s no extraneous storytelling here, no scene that feels unnecessary, no scary moment that plays like it’s pandering. This is the expertly told, horrifying story of an abusive relationship filtered through the lens of a classic horror movie monster. |
| The VergeJoshua RiveraThe horror of The Invisible Man comes from the knowledge that not only would Griffin’s schemes work should such a technology exist, but also from knowing that they already do. |
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangIt’s elegant and diabolically poised, a familiar story expertly retooled for an era of tech-bro sociopathy and #MeToo outrage, but also graced with an insistently human pulse. Studio brand extensions rarely feel this intimate, this personally unnerving. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenMoss shifts into another gear for the truly disturbing finale, when those eyes flicker with thoughts of revenge and events unfold in a way that remind us that Whannell’s big break was as the screenwriter of Saw. The Invisible Man ends on a nasty note, but then again the 1933 film was nasty too. Given the omnipotent power of invisibility, humans apparently do their worst. |
| The Observer (UK)Simran HansSubverting the original text’s point of view allows Whannell to privilege his female protagonist while continuing to explore the novel’s theme of untrammelled power. |
| EmpireJohn NugentUnbearably tense and thematically rich, this feels like an entirely fresh take on a 123-year-old story. |
| Time OutPhil de SemlyenWith Moss’ brilliance in full view, Whannell’s taut exercise in suspense gives Universal’s monsters a jolt of life. |
