The girl acting as a villain in this film is incredible. Her performance is powerful in it!! From the beginning of the movie, she is hated by everyone. I hated her, too as I saw her in this film. Toward the end of it, I Couldn't help but crying for her. The cruel surface of the girl covered the sweetest emotion trapped inside. She is lovely at the end!!!! How powerful her performance is!! The actress is Tuva Novotny. I will remember her name and expect her upcoming films in the future. By the way, the leading actor is really great, too. Gustaf Skarsgård is also excellent in Ondskan (evil). Certainly he is one of the most talented Swedish actor nowaday. Anyway Osynlige, Den is really a great movie. Watch this original one and skip the remake.

One feature that can make or break a movie is the director's ability bring the movie to life, while the other is the actors ability to portray the character in order to bring life to the movie.This story is a mix of both emotion and drama and the greatest quality of any movie is how the director can effectively change the way you may see a character whereby one minute a character can be so hated and despised while the next you may feel a bit of sympathy for them, which in this case is the character Annalie played by Tuva Novotny.Gustaf Skarsgard who plays Niklas is also another actor that also be respected and admired for his strong performance which really brings out the best in this movie.This is the first and probably the only Swedish movie I have seen to date and it was a worth while experience, a highly recommended movie that I think everybody should see.

Swedish film generally remains in stating the obvious and sticking to the conventions of the time, but then there are those rare exceptions, reaching an unforeseen level. 'Invisible' is one of those few. A splendid achievement by the team Bergvall and Sandquist in their first full-length movie.A couple of years ago they got an Academy Awards nomination in the short film category, for 'Victor', also on the grave theme of death. 'Invisible' is based on a novel by the Swedish writer Mats Wahl, a mighty storyteller.This story is indeed mighty. A high school senior, bound by his mother's high expectations, is beaten up brutally, due to a misunderstanding, by a delinquent girl of his age, and left for dead. When he comes to school the next day, he finds that everybody ignores him, as if he had become invisible. Soon, he realizes that he really is.This slight ingredient of the paranormal, makes the story rise to a mythical magnitude, and the film makers, as well as the actors, manage to keep it there, to explore the grand perspectives suddenly appearing. Still, the very concrete psychological drama continues, and intensifies.It all amounts to one formidably gripping experience, not easily forgotten. There are, of course, clear links to 'Sixth Sense' and a number of other movies about the mysterious borderland between life and death, and the necessity for our lives to reach some kind of conclusion, some kind of harmony, before passing on.If searching for them, one can find some small weaknesses - like the unnecessary presence of a gun, or the inability of the dialogue to deal with those profound existential questions - but that's easily forgotten in the very touching and beautiful whole of the film, and more so after its uncompromising and magnificent ending.

This film was a complete surprise for me. I expected something nothing like it, rather a normal Swedish film, grey, theatrical dialogue and bad camera, but was I wrong!This film is something very new in Swedish film. It captures the very best of earlier Swedish films but adds something completely new. Not seen in films from anywhere to tell the truth. A kind of magic that sometimes is a component in real life, but seldomly is captured in films. Of coarse this film also contains a lot that is not to be found in ordinary life, at least not as clear as here...It touches something seldom seen in films, the very essence of reality and consciousness. What are we? What is reality? Are we really? And why now? For how long? And for what reasons?Some things is elegantly left out of the pictures, like questions of good and bad, love and hate. The are pictured though, but in a way that needs no further explanation. The film doesn't give any answers, only give rise to many questions...Thomas Hedengran and Tuva Novotny are doing great things in this picture. Academy award quality stuff. Gustaf Skarsgård is okay to, perfectly adequate actually, but the role does not, and should not, give space for larger performances.Highly recommended.First half better than last though.../ino
