Reception
'Screen Daily' described the film as "powerful and provocative". The reviewer praised the lead actresses; "Ronit Elkabetz makes a striking impact.. with her glacial aloofness meshing perfectly with the character of the forthright Lily." The reviewer continued to describe Dodina as "Equally fine". The review concludes that Aviad does not exploit the subject matter, but allows the "story of two women dealing with a long repressed trauma be told in an engrossing and emotive manner."[http://www.screendaily.com/reviews/latest-reviews/invisible/5023846.article Invisible] Screen Daily. 15 February 2011
