A capitalism critique disguised as an alien invasion. Original concept, entertaining and so weird. A bit of comedy but I didn't laugh much, except when Josh Hamilton was on-screen. The social commentary and themes (class, wealth, race, art, colonisation...) are very on the nose but they're what makes this standout. Mix that with weirdness and you get something similar to Sorry to Bother You. The way it deals with it's themes felt like a very cynical approach, almost nihilistic in some parts? The world-building is worth mentionning, love the sci-fi weird score and good looking special effects. Characters are not the most interesting and it has a hard time with the pacing. The YA romance was the least appealing to me but it was necessary for the setup.
Some of the weirdest aliens i've seen!

Extra boring, extra pointless, ok quirky but nothing to give or share. I do not see the connections to capitalism and some other stuff people mentioned, and i do not want to find them. It is just a very bad movie.
Really fantastic movie. Good humour and great social commentary. I do wish there was some more character development and the plot maybe lost steam a little as it went on. But really enjoyable watch.
The trailer does not reveal the movie either.. ;)
Seems like the people who commented that they enjoyed this were watching it purely for intellectual reasons.
I didn't see anything funny or entertaining before I turned it off.
I was actually afraid to watch because I thought Tiffany Haddish would be way too wacky of a funny comedian character for a serious story... but that's not what happens. She was fine.
It has great concepts but somehow it doesn't develop them as well as it could have been.
The Marshes side story is good enough but I dunno about Hunter because he prevents us from really feeling sorry about the absurdities that they have to endure to showcase how the Campbells aren't even at the bottom. And then there's the couple, which starts off well somehow in a situation where it could have easily come off as Adam taking advantage, but then the twist didn't feel earned so I thought it was too abrupt to have Chloe give in so fast and so completely. That could have worked if this was only satire but I think they really needed us to see a loss for both of them at that point and I didn't feel that way, so the payoff wasn't that good.
Quirky sci fi comedy is funnier than you might expect considering its capitalist subtext.
This is an okay movie, and I could tell what they were trying to go for about how capitalistic companies can ruin what would be great people and products. However, it seemed like this movie was trying to tell too many stories at once, so some got thrown to the side; in fact, I thought this was going to focus more on teenage love, but it really doesn't. Regardless, the style is still very interesting and overall the movie was okay.
I’m so glad that nowadays the trailer shows almost the entire movie’s story!

Exceptional Critique of Capitalism
Landscape with Invisible Hand is a brilliant satire that exposes the flaws and failures of capitalism in a dystopian setting. The film shows how the Vuvv exploit the human population for their own benefit, while offering them false promises and cheap entertainment. It also explores the themes of art, love, class, and resistance, as Adam and Chloe struggle to find meaning and dignity in their lives. The film does not shy away from showing the dark and depressing aspects of living in a world where everything is commodified and controlled by a powerful elite. We are therefore challenged to question our own role and responsibility in a system that oppresses and dehumanizes others.
