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!

Love can be "many-splendored." It can be torturous. In this movie, it’s often hilarious more than anything else.

["The Invite" is] a chamber piece about what happens when you let resentments fester instead of treating them, and how the only person you have to blame is yourself.

...The Invite is not only far superior to the original film in every way, but it also proves to be a dramedy that is funny, sensitive, and provocative all at once. [Full review in Spanish]

Olivia Wilde as a director is great. I want to see more movies from her. Seth Rogan as always is great but this movie he felt like a fish outta water. Is the point rediscovering yourself or the relationship your in with your partner? Is it to teach swingers how to, to a younger college audience? Even for A24 this is uniquely outta place. The music storyline and them coming together at the end was nice but the storyline just fell flat. Edward Norton doesn’t fit, neither does Cruz.

Not what you expected from the running title poster lines. Great casting and Olivia Wilde “can” direct. A very “adult” comedic drama

Ending was inconclusive, but movie itself was thought provoking. Lots of tension and drama between the couples.
