The Invisible Man 2020 Movie Review Better Than I Thought  I just got out of seeing The Invisible Man with a friend of mine at my local theater. I didn't have any hope for this film going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Invisible Man follows Cecilia ( Elisabeth Moss ) as she runs from her abusive boyfriend.
