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.

Nikki Gemmell

The Australian

4/5

The film is a modern Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, with kink. A movie for grown-ups, smart and sophisticated, of a type not made much anymore. So refreshing, and so deliciously funny.

You might not want to invite any of this quartet over to your own apartment, but they’re good company on screen.

...Wilde seizes the chance to show her craft, especially when it comes to telling a story through framing, lighting and set design.

4/5

It's delightfully adult and diabolically wicked.

4/5

While uniformly well-acted, The Invite’s stand-out performance is by in-house cynic and perennial-pessimist Rogen.

The Invite is brutally funny and painfully honest at times...but sentimental too. While entertaining in the moment, The Invite lacks the staying power of, say, Roman Polanski’s Carnage, also about the jangly encounter between two couples.

Not worth seeing in the theatre, definitely a free home stream option. could have been funny but each scene that did have potential dragged on way too long.

This movie probably won't be for everyone it's mostly four people talking, but I thought it was great. As good as the other actors were, this movie would have been nothing without Seth Rogen's performance.

Mediocre. But I tend to trash anything with Olivia Wilde in it. She’s in over her head.

Hilarious, witty, well acted, and even touching — although not for everyone (know what you are signing up for), highly recommended

This movie was about how we treat one another instead of how we look at one another. It was a very refreshing surprise.
