Looking for closure, Phoebe decides to retrace her sister's journey in hopes of finding out what happened to her. In the course of her travels through France, Portugal, and the Netherlands, Phoebe crosses paths with Wolf (Christopher Eccleston), Faith's boyfriend, and finds herself falling for the man her sister once loved. Based on the acclaimed novel by Jennifer Egan, The Invisible Circus also features Blythe Danner and Camilla Belle. The film marked the directorial debut for screenwriter Adam Brooks. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Strangely dispassionate and uncommitted for a movie about passionate commitment.
-
Charles Taylor, Salon.com
A movie for people who are so sensitive they barely notice the feelings of others or what's going on in the world.
-
David Edelstein, Slate
The film is overnarrated and in spots overwritten, but Brooks ... does well with actors, and he has coaxed an extraordinary performance out of the young Jordana Brewster.
-
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
Part beautifully shot European travelogue and part moving exploration of the darker side of the hippie era's rabid idealism.
-
Todd McCarthy, Variety
A woefully tame and pallid affair.
