Invisible Life is a beautifully made family drama with several excellent performances, especially by the transcendent Fernanda Montenegro in the final 20 minutes of the film. But
Invisible Life is also, in many ways,
The Color Purple reset in Brazil in the 1950s. One thing about dramas like this is that I can never really understand forgiving the awful, awful conservative men and women who destroy families in these things. It makes it hard for me to identify. I wind up just screaming at the screen. Also, I don't know who told me this was about queer subject matter, but it is definitely not.
