Struggles heroically, but unsuccessfully, to strike a balance between whimsy and pathos. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
Griff seems a little too psychologically damaged to laugh at. On the other hand, for a drama, his behavior is way too silly to take seriously. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Griff the Invisible is sweet and pleasant, but it is often a little too relaxed for its own good. Go to Full Review

11/17/2021 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!! :) See more 05/31/2021 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!! See more 06/22/2019 Charming movie. It left the door wide open for a sequel. It is not a fantastic movie but certainly worth watching. See more 07/28/2017 Loved this film. Melody is great. I really don't see what's not to like. See more 02/06/2017 Muffled desperation. See more 09/26/2016 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.
