ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Dimitris Markakis I am teacher. And i find it amazing (joking of course) that a teacher can bring an axe in classroom, because of which she is injured (and with high risk danger a student to be killed or injured), and at the end she succeeds to have her work at school back, with the condition not to bring again axes or other instruments at school. Isn't this totally crazy? In Greece, and many other normal countries, a teacher bringing axe would be fired and would not even think of going to justice to take his work back. Not to mention that he would be forced to go to psychologist. Well, very low expectations you should have if you decide to watch this movie. You will loose your hour, and will face crazy facts as the one i described above.

rcarol321 This movie is not your stereotypical happy ending movie. In someways, Ms. Gray reminds me of Miss Honey in Matilda. And as a child, she reminds me perhaps to Mary in The Secret Garden. Its plot, theme, and screenplay were tied together very nicely. Jessica Alba's performance was outstanding. Ms. Gray's character personality you see may be mistaken as shy but it is quite beyond that. For those of us that enjoy the language of numbers understand how to communicate with the universe. Because numbers you see are reliable.This particular film can be greatly misunderstood. Watch this film with an open mind and let your heart be just vulnerable enough as you are introduced to the world of a bizarre child. We must never judge a book by its cover as is commonly said. An Invisible Sign is so very underrated. It is not easy to grasp just as much as life itself isn't easy to grasp. Worth its every minute.

TxMike I found this one on Netflix streaming movies. It is quite quirky in places, which may turn off some who enjoy conventional narratives, but in total it is a very nice little story. Jessica Alba is the adult, 20-something Mona Gray. As a small girl she loved her dad, ran with him, did "numbers" with him, and overall became somewhat fascinated with numbers. But as she grew up her dad developed a mental problem, he could no longer function normally, and as a 10-yr-old Mona thought if she did certain things, for example if she denied herself of things she enjoyed, her dad would get better. All this caused Mona to grow up with development challenges, and she became very shy and unwilling to experience normal friendships, not to mention a love relationship. But one day, to help her, mom found out the local elementary math teacher had run off to Paraguay to join the revolutionaries and Mona was to be the new math teacher. Never mind that she never finished college!So Mona jumps in there, does the best she can, has difficulty controlling the students. But she meets Science teacher, Chris Messina as Ben Smith. he is pretty much the opposite of Mona, outgoing and not overly worrying about anything. He takes a liking to Mona but finds her shell very difficult to penetrate.J.K. Simmons is interesting as the neighbor Mr. Jones, who had taught math to Mona as a child, and who now runs the local hardware store. Her confused dad is John Shea as Dad. And Sonia Braga is her mom, still attractive at just past 60. I first saw her years ago in the 1983 movie "Gabriella" where in her early 20s played a sultry cook and lover. Interesting career arc!Anyway it is a nice movie, and therapeutic for Mona, as she eventually finds a way out of her shell. I have enjoyed Jessica Alba since her days as "Dark Angel" on the TV series, and I like her here.

stani101 I thought this was a nice, enjoyable family movie. My kids liked it and I did too. Mona Gray is a 'weirdo-bizzaro' kind of person who seems to find it difficult getting on in life. In fact, her life seems to be lost in translation since her father suffered a nervous breakdown. She does have issues but getting to know other 'weird' people seems to show her a different aspect of life. The film moves along nicely and I think Jessica Alba does a good job with the Mona Gray character. Like Mona says, " there comes a time in your life when you realize you are the person in charge. You are the adult" This a film about growing up and facing up to life's responsibilities, challenging those demons that make you feel worthless. Definitely worth a watch.
