Tete’s family bully her mercilessly over her looks and lack of a social life to the point where I started Googling the number for Rio’s child protective services. The only vaguely likeable character is Davi (Gabriel Lima), but that’s because he has no personality or defined characteristics, so he blends into the wallpaper before we have a chance to hate him. In fact, there’s hardly a likeable character to be found anywhere. The writers want us to believe that people don’t like Tete because of her looks or her perspiration problem, but for the most part people don’t like her because she’s annoying and self-centered. Yes, she’s shy and awkward, but she’s also obnoxious and gets in everyone’s face. If it wasn’t my job to finish it, I would have turned it off after 10 minutes at the most. I feel like my entire day was taken up just trying to get through this slog. I had to pause the movie about halfway through and take a break that’s how painfully uncomfortable and boring this movie is. Just kidding, but it sure does feel like it. Maybe here she can make some friends - or even find a boyfriend.Īt a whopping 91 minutes this is the longest film I have ever seen in my entire life. With a family move to Rio de Janeiro, Tete sees her new high school as a fresh start. She struggles with relating to other people and can’t make friends. She has a unibrow, a mustache, and she sweats more than the average 15-year-old girl. I wasn’t fighting someone in a green suit - it was me throwing myself around.Shy and awkward, Tete (Klara Castanho) never seems to get it right. “Because you’re gonna have to beat yourself up. “When it came to my stuff, they were like 'Well how agile and athletic are you?’ he recalled. Yes, you’re reading that right: Hodge had no green-screen combatants in The Invisible Man no hidden sparring partners who could be edited out later behind the scenes. When it comes to working by yourself, it’s just you. So you have to be really in sync and when you’re working with a partner, there’s a little bit of extra room to lean on. “If you don’t believe the hit, you don’t believe the damage done - you don’t believe the dynamics. “When it comes to fights on screen, the person who sells the fight is the person who’s getting hit,” Hodge told SYFY WIRE not long after the movie’s arrival in theaters.

Special effects played a role in helping carry out that make-or-break mission, of course: A super-cool “sneak suit,” plus all the stunt and action expertise Whannell carried over from his previous movie Upgrade, did their part in making the Blumhouse-produced fright fest feel real. Director Leigh Whannell set Elisabeth Moss and co-star Aldis Hodge, among others, with a decidedly unenviable task in 2020’s The Invisible Man (stream it here on Peacock): Convince audiences that every tense encounter with the film’s hidden baddie looks and feels like the unseen threat is actually scary - and, perhaps even tougher, that it's really there in the first place. Of all the old-school movie monsters in its storied classic library, Universal Pictures had to go and dust off what might just be the trickiest one of all for a modern-day movie remake.
