There are few experiences in this business more frustrating
than a movie loaded with talent that just misses the mark.
The Invisible Circus is one of those movies. The acting
is terrific. The direction is okay for a first timer. (Unfortunately,
this is Adam Brooks third film.)
So what went wrong? Well, the
core problem is the indecision about just whose story was
being told here. The story is about a young woman who is tying
to deal with the mysterious death of her idealized elder sister's
memory. The sister, played by Cameron Diaz, was a free
spirit who seemed ready to take on anything. Her death has
haunted her younger sister, played by Jordana Brewster,
and causes her to stay more conservative in her life choices.
That is, until she decides that her own personal freedom demands
that she take a journey in her late sister's footsteps to
learn exactly what happened.
