Reviews:

"The documentary’s collection of PhDs offers a place to start another fresh — and deep — reading list. Not to take anything away from their scholarship, but these academics are most affecting when they hint at their own stories, when they join in the movie’s vibrant procession of other Black women, young and old. Because it is Sheila Thomas, Cora Matthews, Bonnie Gatson and Helen Jones, as well as a sweet slew of ridiculously bold and charming, focused and hopeful girls and young women, who make '(In)Visible Portraits' a balm." - Variety

"It’s open-heartedness that makes “(In)Visible Portraits” such a wonder, because as Egbuonu and her participants are illuminating an often terrible history, they are also sharing themselves on increasingly personal terms. It’s difficult not to feel as if Egbuonu and her subjects aren’t talking directly to each viewer, teaching them through history and personal experience, and that level of trust and respect demands reciprocal action." - IndieWire
