Huge Questions We Still Have About The Invisible Man

Written and directed by Leigh Whannell, The Invisible Man is a rock-solid thriller, but some of its mysteries are never fully resolved. However, we'll be breaking down all of the questions that the film never gave us answers to, to see if we can answer them ourselves.

Pretty much every scene in The Invisible Man is about Cecilia struggling, literally or metaphorically, with Adrian's lingering presence in her life. The film's singular focus on this one plotline is generally a good thing, since it offers the audience no escape from the constantly escalating tension. But unfortunately, it also means that there's basically no room in the film for subplots, so we don't get a chance to learn much about who Cecilia is as a person, outside of her relationship with Adrian.

In the brief moments where Cecilia is momentarily free of Adrian's grasp, we catch glimpses of a truly compelling character who we want to learn more about. When she, James, and Sydney are just hanging out together, Cecilia is sharp, funny, and empathetic. Also, in one scene, Cecilia is suddenly being interviewed for a job at an architecture firm, the only acknowledgement we get of Cecilia having career aspirations. Was she an architect before? Did she give it up for Adrian?

One reason why Cecilia sometimes feels like such a cipher is because even she herself might not even know who she is anymore. Trauma can make you feel like whoever you once were, that person has now been erased. You have no life outside your struggle for survival. Who was Cecilia before she met Adrian? The film doesn't answer, and we'd really like to know, but perhaps Cecilia is currently in a place where not even she remembers.
