A little girl with the power to be invisible to her parents uses it to disappear.

Tom Keogh

Seattle Times

A compelling, wholly original tale marred a bit by its young heroine's incessant chatter on the soundtrack.

Rated: 2.5/4

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

An oddly charming curio: an English dub of a live-action French film observed from its heroine's perspective.

Rated: 3/5

Little White Lies

A different kind of children's film, and all the better for it.

Rated: 3/5

Total Film

The value of small things is tenderly endorsed in this miniaturist French cousin of Alice In Wonderland and Moonrise Kingdom.

Rated: 3/5

What Culture

A nice diversion from multiplex fare if resolutely 'special interest', On the Sly is as unassuming as its title suggests, and performed with real conviction

Rated: 3/5

Observer (UK)

It's funny, touching and at 70-odd minutes only slightly overlong.

My interests are definitley peculiar but I know a great film when I watch one. I watched this movie with my ex wife and by the end of the movie we were sweating passionatley and holding hands. Its an October must watch. Steamy and sad.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
