Product Description

Product description

The Invisible Circus

Amazon.com

An affecting movie about ghosts and illusions, The Invisible Circus follows Phoebe (Jordana Brewster), an American girl who's retracing the path of her sister Faith (Cameron Diaz), hoping to discover what led to Faith's mysterious death. Using the postcards that Faith sent her from Europe as a map, Phoebe travels from Amsterdam to Paris to Portugal, learning from Faith's ex-boyfriend Wolf (Christopher Eccleston) about a side of Faith that Phoebe knew nothing about--a side that overturns all of Phoebe's cherished beliefs about her sister and herself. The performances in The Invisible Circus are uneven, and yet the culmination of the movie captures something piercingly sad, something acute and evocative about how survivors create myths about the lost, myths that can both help and hinder their lives. Blythe Danner plays the mother of the two girls in a brief but subtly powerful performance. --Bret Fetzer

5.0 out of 5 stars Very poor video case.
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2021

Video and audio on disk was excellent. The case, however, was the worst case I have ever received. It broke at the area to open it, the protective cover also tore off the printed area on the cover. I tried to take a picture but unable to take it out of photo area. Video was excellent, but the case and covering need to be redone.

3.0 out of 5 stars An epic example of the book being vastly better than the movie
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2016
Verified Purchase
The book is tremendous, covering a lot of psychological ground. By distilling the main plot and leaving out huge chunks of character development and Egan's observations about human nature, the movie seems almost trite. Great acting, beautiful scenery and natural- sounding dialogue -- except for the last scene with Wolf and Phoebe -- but ultimately an epic example of the book being vastly better than the movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good depiction of the highlights of the novel
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019
Verified Purchase
The screenwriter took liberties with the original story line of the novel, but the basic story is portrayed well in the movie. But I have to say, it isn't even as detailed as a "Cliff Notes" version of the novel. I'm a fan of the novel, so I didn't like how Phoebe's "Steve Jobs" like brother was not included in the screenplay. I also thought that it was important to establish that Wolf was from the same high school as Phoebe and her sister. The character of Wolf in the film was from England. The idea of two native San Franciscans escaping to Europe during the Vietnam War Era was critical to the story, I felt. Wolf can't go back to a world where he grew up, San Francisco and UC Berkeley, after the death of Faith. He's stuck, and he can't face Phoebe and her mother. Wolf merely living a few hours away from where he grew up doesn't portray the sense of self-imposed isolation an American might feel living in Germany, where he survives on the German he studied merely for his foreign language requirement at UCB. An Englishman living in Paris (Wolf in the movie), where many people speak English, just doesn't portray the sense of exile Wolf must feel.

But the movie is fine if you don't compare it to the book. Like the book, the story takes place in the 1970s, but it might as well have taken place when the movie was made, the 1990s. There's beautiful scenery, but the story is too condensed, and the surprise ending doesn't have the same long build-up as in the novel. In the end, the story was wonderful for a full length novel, but does not seem to work as well for a movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars I don't think it was a big hit, but it is a good story and far better than many box office hits
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2017

At first I thought it maybe Cameron Diaz in a kind of romcom like the dismal 1996 She's the one, I think it's
the cover that makes you think it's some kind of love triangle.

However, this is based on a book that I haven't read. It follows an accurate late 60s to mid 1970s history with
Diaz's character getting involved in 1960s political activism in San Francisco. After getting disillusioned with
Vietnam she goes to Amsterdam (where you could squat legally in the Jordaan area etc - now illegal in 2010),
then to Paris (which experienced May 1968's Sorbonne riots against the authoritarian regime of De Gaulle), the
Berlin (area of Kreuzberg (I assume) which now is a hipster gentrification area) the onto Portugal which has 1974 Carnation
Revolution against authoritarian rule.

Her sister follows the path of Diaz by postcards she received as her younger sister to piece together what happened
to Diaz.

I don't think it was a big hit, but it is a good story and far better than many box office hits

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2010

This film does have a story to it, and if you willing to sit through the first 30-40 mins it does get better. Although with the likes of Cameron Diaz and Christopher Eccleston i had high hopes and for me it didnt reach them. But that not to say its not for anyone else. You can get this film cheap off amazon market place so still worth a watch, make up your own mind.

If you are a fan of Christopher Ecceleston then this is worth a watch. He is a wonderfully diverse actor and its good to see him with Cameron Diaz. However , I couldn't help but feel a little lost in places despite the simple storyline and wonder what the point was really.
Disappointed I couldn't rate it higher really.
