Critic Reviews

Watching Invincible was a singular experience for me, because it reminded me of the fundamental power that the cinema had for us when we were children. The film exercises the power that fable has for the believing.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The period is evoked with care and imagination, and the film glows with Peter Zeitlinger's cinematography. It has some bravura images and surreal moments typical of Herzog, and composers Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt have contributed a lovely score.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

If Invincible is soft at the center, its visual grandeur and mostly full-blooded performances make it gripping, for this eminent German director has pulled off the tricky feat of elevating a true story into a larger-than-life allegory.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

An extraordinary story uniquely suited to Herzog's abilities, it eventually becomes easy to accept Ahola as a nearly mute witness to the obsessives around him, most immediately Tim Roth in a striking performance as Ahola's employer.Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Half-baked Herzog, though it has twinkles of theatrical purity that remind you of when his vision was grand.Full Review
