Critics Consensus

Perversely funny while giving its quartet of fine actors some of their best material yet, The Invite is a sophisticated farce that reaffirms Olivia Wilde as one of the most exciting filmmakers working today.

If there is more pleasure to be had than watching great actors behaving badly, I would genuinely wish to know about it.

The Invite beautifully conveys that, no matter how open we might be -- or, crucially, believe we might be -- there will be barriers that arise, ones that must be dealt with instead of hidden behind.

3.5/4

The Invite feels like a throwback to the grown up films of the ’70s and early ’80s. What an absolute pleasure. Grownups are back, baby!

Don’t worry, darling — Olivie Wilde’s new movie is a lot better than her last one.

This is just a brilliant film. So well-written and absolutely hilarious with the various screw-ball situations these characters get into. Olivia Wilde is a fantastic director.

Jones and McCormack's screenplay, brimming with clever one-liners, presents four very distinct yet recognisable characters, each with their own unique wants and motives, and has great fun setting them against each other and watching the sparks fly.

Mostly the movie is about BDSM, sexual talk and 4some.

I think A24 is becoming the best studio for films that make you think and are extremely entertaining. The Invite made me laugh out loud, cringe on some of the topics, and even teared up a bit. All the emotions you want in a film. The acting by all 4 was unbelievable! Not one to take g’ma too unless she enjoys movies with a lot of sex talk. Doesn’t need to be seen on the big screen but the perfect film to go to the movies!

Funniest movie of the year. I was laughing my —- off the whole time. Cast is excellent. Seth Rogan is my new fav (mainly due to The Studio) and he’s been on a tear. I didn’t used to like him but he’s had a string of best ofs recently. And Olivia Wilde as director and star was also fantastic. Ed Norton and Penelope Cruz also great. Good chemistry. This movie proves you don’t need AI and CGI ir big sets to make an extraordinary movie. Well done y’all.

not quite what I thought it would be. there was some dark humor and relateable situations. the story draws upon the stress, tension and disillusions of relationships and growing older.
