The Invite
Director: Olivia Wilde Run Time: 107 min. Release Year: 2026
Starring: Edward Norton, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, Seth Rogen
Joe and Angela’s marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?
“As the jokes start to sour and the night shifts to something more serious, Wilde and her dramatically experienced ensemble are able to handle a difficult tonal descent without slipping. I was worried how she would close things out – do we go high or low? – but she nails it, a delicately sad final scene that had the Sundance audience on their feet applauding. It seems that the chance to watch a genuinely funny and uncommonly intelligent comedy for adults is an invite we have all been waiting for.” ~ Benjamin Lee, The Guardian
