Taylor Williams Slant Magazine 2d
2.5/4
By the time The Invite burrows into the heart of its main characters and reveals the scope of their regrets and longings, it’s hard to argue that it doesn’t strike a chord of genuine emotion. Go to Full Review Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal 4d
The script by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (based on a 2020 Spanish film) is an increasingly high-stakes farce that turns surprisingly poignant in its more low-key third act. Go to Full Review Johnny Oleksinski New York Post 6d
4/4
A sophisticated, snappy, seductive and stupendously funny film about a long-married couple who are in way over their heads. Go to Full Review Kent M. Wilhelm The Film Stage 1d
The sensation of watching Wilde’s third feature in a packed theater felt like something from another time. Go to Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider 5d
8/10
The Invite might seem like a simple idea, but Wilde, as well as Jones, McCormack, and her excellent cast, make this into a compelling, delightful, and moving comedy that's more intricate than it might seem. Go to Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net 6d
8/10
