Review of An Invisible Sign (2010) by Caitlin M — 18 Sep 2014

This film is really unusual, but I did enjoy it! It explores heavy subject matter; cancer, mental illness, and death. But Agrelo did a beautiful job expressing these controversial topics, with a mixture of saccharine scenes and melancholy motives.

This movie does have a lot of symbolism and not nearly as many lines in the script. I think that's why some people may find it to drag on. But I think it portrayed just how awkward people really are sometimes, and how much such things as sickness and death can truly change people.

Sometimes even permanently. I thought Jessica Alba did pretty well, definitely different from other roles she played, but that's refreshing in my opinion. I really liked the part about the ax, I thought the meaning behind it was spot on!
