The Invisible Circus , Head Above Water : Cameron Diaz 2 Pack Collection Review
The Invisible Circus , Head Above Water : Cameron Diaz 2 Pack Collection Feature
The Invisible Circus follows Phoebe (Jordana Brewster), an American girl who's retracing the path of her sister Faith (Cameron Diaz), hoping to discover what led to Faith's mysterious death. Using the postcards that Faith sent her from Europe as a map, Phoebe travels from Amsterdam to Paris to Portugal, learning from Faith's ex-boyfriend Wolf (Christopher Eccleston) about a side of Faith that Phoebe knew nothing about--a side that overturns all of Phoebe's cherished beliefs about her sister and herself. The performances in The Invisible Circus are uneven, and yet the culmination of the movie captures something piercingly sad, something acute and evocative about how survivors create myths about the lost, myths that can both help and hinder their lives. Blythe Danner plays the mother of the two girls in a brief but subtly powerful performance/head above water -It's a case of too many men--one of whom mysteriously winds up dead--for a recovering addict whose vacation with her husband at a secluded resort is interrupted by the appearance of an ex-lover and a hot-pants handyman.
