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.

The finale with its sudden switch of mood from the side-splitting to the sentimental is a downer... But the fact that the film has you chuckling most of the way mandates that you do say yes to the RSVP of this invite.

3/4

An urban meet-the-neighbors cringe comedy that gets airborne on the strength of its four performances.

Wilde, Rogen, Norton and Cruz exquisitely juggle the evening’s shifting moods, and Cruz in particular gives a naturalistic performance that outpaces the rest of the cast.

B+

It's obvious within minutes that everyone was having the time of their life making this film, in the improvised-sounding asides and reactions that land a beat too honest to have been scripted.

4/5

Astonishingly acted by all four actors, this provocative, fast-paced film impresses with the power with which it frames contentions, different points of view, embarrassments, and resolutions. This is finely judged filmmaking by Wilde.

Absolutely fantasist. All the actors are brilliant and so is the script.
