This movie is wonderful. Such a great message involved within too. They could have ruined it by trying to make it a hero based film, but the later they chose was more relatable and sensitive.
What a great concept! Invisible girl navigates the world, seen by no one, until suddenly one day... a totally hot bouncer at the club spots her. The setup of the movie really is the strongest. It loses a bit of steam as a romance and an MMA story (he's a fighter). But I was engaged enough in the heroine's journey to stay with it and find out what her resolution would be.
It's part romance part fantasy/sci fi. I thought it succeeded better on the fantasy front, as the romance was a bit lukewarm. Interesting story premise of a woman who's become invisible and has no idea why - until finally one guy can actually see her. How does she regain her visibility for everyone though? A decent indie flick.
One of the six rated movies that you should not miss.
Solid story line and very good energy between the actors.
Reeding some reviews: If you need total logic in a movie that deals with invisible people, please do not watch. Logical enough for me.

I did enjoy this movie but need to mention what could be considered plotholes,clichés or just bad in general.
Will start with the general message this movie sends,if you only care about yourself you will disappear.. Now in general that would be a great message but considering she was a adolescent,when her mom died and still was learning who she was & all those years needing to be self-sufficient & so forth.. Give me a break!
Also during the dinner scene with mom,it seemed Holly was always overlooked.. Thank goodness for mom,actually.
The older sister & brother didn't seem to acknowledge the mom either,because we don't see any real scenes of them trying to connect & mom only favoring Holly.
Also once she disappears how can all her memories fade by her family,wasn't like she died or went back in time.
There was a scene where her sister being basically narcissistic like in her teens after her pregnancy got revealed to her guy,saying she always felt basically overlooked because she wasn't a favorite child & so forth.. Well,it didn't seem like her brother she was talking about.
Again.. what a huge load of guilty burden to make Holly feel,again she was a kid.
Than we go through the struggles with the other family members,where again she's made to feel burden for not understanding what her dad was dealing with.
Remember during all these self-descoveries made,not once does any family or friends ever mention her.. which would be logical,if not for the last scene where after she appears & goes to see dad the way he responded-I have other theories regarding that,but can we say plotholes in logic.
Speaking of logic- how did she rent an apartment or cash checks and so forth,not everything in life can be done without human contact.. Let's also ponder was her clothes or cell phone,invisible or just overlooked as they moved about? Lol.
Aren't pets good at picking up things humans can't see? Like with Shaynes dog,unless it was because she wasn't dead.
It is worth seeing,if you don't actually over think it.
Maybe she went through it all to help and find her love she was destined with Shayne but rather sad considering all she missed prior to him only seeing her after years of loneliness.
A reviewer mentioned why didn't she do good,with being invisible? Like stopping terrorism,um.. She was a kid & was able to be hurt,not like she became a superhero as a young adult.
Was cast & acted decent with good cinematography.

Did you know
- TriviaCarries a 2017 copyright date, suggesting it was completed two years before release.
- GoofsWhen Holly is looking at the TV screens saying that Shayne and Julianna have rekindled their romance, you can see Holly's reflection in the window, which shouldn't be there as she is invisible.
She's only invisible to the people in the movie. Of course she's visible or the movie viewers would not be able to see her. She's not a vampire.
