Jude (Michael Goorjian) is a rock star whose heroin habit has become too much for his bandmates; while on a European tour, they send him to a detox center in Paris to dry out. Jude escapes from detox faster than you can say "Kurt Cobain" and passes out on a sidestreet, where he's found by Joy (Portia de Rossi), a model who's also addicted to heroin. Joy takes Jude back to her flat, where they hide out from the world (where a reward has been posted for Jude's return) and debate the pros and cons of getting off junk. The Invisibles features a score by former Camper Van Beethoven member Jonathan Segel, who also plays the apparition of John Lennon. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
If the idea of a rock star and a supermodel spending a week together in one room sounds sort of intriguing, this is a scrappy little indie you might want to search out.

Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
With trite dialogue, jerky editing, dull acting, and ill-advised flashbacks and narration to the camera, you'll be be left merely dreaming of an overdose.
