Film Review – Landscape with Invisible Hand

“Landscape with Invisible Hand” is a tough title to sell to a broad audience, and the film itself is even stranger. It’s an adaptation of a 2017 novel by M.T. Anderson, with writer/director Corey Finley (“Thoroughbreds,” “Bad Education”) taking on the challenge of bringing such an odd story to the big screen. It’s an alien invasion tale in a way, with Anderson using the premise of visitors from another world to comment on economic disparity and the casual brutality of class divide, all the while delivering a study of an alien society trying to become more human, but only with the worst influences. “Landscape with Invisible Hand” deals with art, family, and society, offering a sharp commentary of American life, and it’s a mostly effective drama, with the helmer working well with Anderson’s details, making for an interesting sit with material that makes sense of the writer’s unusual imagination.
