      Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa Although uneven and sometimes over the top, this psychological drama is dynamic and highly intense, with a captivating performance by the lead actress, Danish-born Stine Fischer Christensen. Aug 12, 2020 Full Review Amie Simon Three Imaginary Girls Cracks in the Shell starts to wear a little thin by the end, but it's still a nice way to spend the evening-if only to watch Christensen shine in the lead role.

      Audience Member Engagingly directed by German filmmaker Christian Schwochow, Die Unsichtbare brings us the amazing story of a young girl who wants to be a theater actress and has a tough life. A consistently gripping and strikingly compassionate independent film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched it on the 6th German Movies Festival of the Goethe Institut of Los Angeles. Extremely good!. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Done to death narrative about a young actress losing herself in a new role via sexual inhibition - but only the Germans would come up with the twist that becoming a strumpet leads to absolute triumph. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The story of a shy actress who has to dig deep and transform into another person to satisfy a dictatorial director. Pretty much like Black Swan but not as good. There are a few differences; it is about acting on stage instead of ballet, it lacks the hallucinations, and it's in German. It is still reasonably compelling and well-acted. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member From the director of "Novemberkind" | "Intensive."
