THE INVITE opens today in the cinema!

“…Seth Rogen and Olivia Wilde play a grousing, long-married San Francisco couple who have their upstairs neighbors (Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton) over to dinner, only to discover that these two are what used to be called swingers (they’re now presented as ‘enlightened’ New Age addicts of group s*x). Will a foursome happen? That sounds like the premise of a certain kind of indie movie (let’s call it kinky-cute), but ‘The Invite’ is blessedly not that movie. Wilde, who directed it, invests Will McCormack and Rashida Jones’s relentlessly sharp screenplay with an astonishing feeling of lived-in experience. ‘The Invite’ is about horniness and loneliness and love and possibility, and about how the movie is going to take this situation and run with it, neither playing it safe nor making it too easy.” - Owen Gleiberman, Variety - The Best Films of 2026 (so far).

“The Invite, based on Spanish director Cesc Gay’s ‘The People Upstairs,’ is full of surprises and tonal shifts. It deserves to be experienced fresh, because it’s without doubt one of the best movies of the year.” Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle.
