Between 1944–1953, a courageous resistance movement took place in the Baltic region of Europe in a struggle against the Soviet Union. “The Invisible Front” was a coded name used by the Soviet Interior forces to describe the resistance movement in Lithuania. Rare archival footage tells the stories of horror, courage, and grace under pressure.
Los Angeles Times by Betsy Sharkey
We look to documentaries like The Invisible Front — dense with detail, straightforward in laying out the issues — to put history in perspective. And in this case to illuminate a little-known page from it.
Befitting a doc about a data-intensive struggle, the movie benefits from a wealth of resources.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Featuring generous amounts of haunting archival footage and photographs, the film is occasionally a bit diffuse in its narrative, straining to convey the complexities of its story with an overabundance of detail. But it ultimately succeeds.
The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
This film, somewhat clumsy yet full of illuminating interviews, seems mostly like an exercise in building national pride, but it holds lessons for anyone trying to resist an overwhelming force.
