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.

Guess who’s coming to dinner? You’re the extra guest … and you’re ready for anything, too.

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.

A devastating chamber piece that finds its rhythm in the chaos it unleashes.

"The Invite" is a throwback to smaller movies where character dynamics were the focus.

Through humor, Seth Rogen perfectly captures the essence of his character, avoiding any caricature and offering a fresh perspective on his own past comedy roles, now with a few years under his belt. [Full review in Spanish]

I thought I was going to hate this movie…. And honestly was cringing and dying the first 30 minutes, but it is truly the best movie out right now! Intelligent, captivating, funny, honest. A must watch.

I didn't really know what to expect, but it wasn't this. I liked it. It was a fun, good movie. It was awkward and ridiculous and just kind of real. I was expecting more humor though, but maybe it's just not mine. It was kind of heartfelt despite it all, or perhaps because of it.

This is an incredible film. The characters are wonderful. Such a heartfelt story written with such raw and real emotion yet somehow captures it in a comedic way. This movie and actors should get recognition this Oscar season.
