Calvin Wilson St. Louis Post-Dispatch Struggles heroically, but unsuccessfully, to strike a balance between whimsy and pathos. Rated: 2/4 Sep 16, 2011 Full Review Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Matt Singer IFC.com I'm all for ambiguity in films, but it doesn't feel like writer/director Leon Ford left Griff and his underlying issues vague on purpose. Rated: D+ Sep 5, 2011 Full Review Robert Bell Exclaim! [It] tackles populist cinematic paradigms... Jan 30, 2023 Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus Ryan Kwanten does an admirable job as the socially inept Griff. But Maeve Dermody infuses all of the magic and heart into the film for me. Apr 1, 2020 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Griff the Invisible is sweet and pleasant, but it is often a little too relaxed for its own good. Rated: B- Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I loved it!! Very cute!! I feel some people may not gel with the story, but i was captivated to the end!! Finding the person that gets 'You for You!!' Can't get any better than that!! :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member If I were to compare this movie alongside Super (starring Rainn Wilson) and Kick-Ass, I prefer this one. Griff is a delusional young adult who lives in his own fantasy world (a legend in his own mind). It was obvious this movie would end up completely unnoticed, whereas the predictable overated Hollywood garbage like Kick-Ass gets all the attention. Griff, along with his "sidekick" love interest named Melody, are characters that seem a little more believable, considering there are REAL people who get caught up in a fantasy conjured up in their own mind. I've actually met a few cosplayers that are guilty of this. Anyway, I was lucky to find a DVD of this movie (for only $2.00) and I suggest people should support indie films and stop watching the trite that Hollywood keeps shoving down your throat!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Charming movie. It left the door wide open for a sequel. It is not a fantastic movie but certainly worth watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved this film. Melody is great. I really don't see what's not to like. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Muffled desperation. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Proof, if any was needed, that a big budget isn't needed on a superhero film, sometimes all you need is a clever script. Something big movies sometimes lack. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
