60 of 267 · most liked firstSee THE INVITE in the theater. It’s worth the MF hype. Olivia Wilde is a MAJOR director now. Everything about the movie is excellent. It is TAUT - nay - COILED like the best Hitchcock. Swiss watch-ass movie. Can’t wait to see it again.
positive · AI labelView post →Olivia Wilde made a grownup film about marriage that's also a beautiful argument for artmaking and a testament to the fact that a film doesn't need to be fancy, stylized, and expensive to be a terrific work of art. The Invite is a witty, wise love letter to cinema. So happy to discuss!
positive · AI labelView post →Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton will star in Olivia Wilde’s new film ‘THE INVITE’, which she will also star in. The date night comedy is inspired by Spanish film ‘Sentimental’ and follows chaos that ensues when a couple invites the neighbors over. (Source: variety.com/2025/film/ne...)
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm reading reviews of Olivia Wilde's "The Invite" and there are a bunch of them defending "Don't Worry Darling" as a good movie or, if not good, at least well-directed.... uh, I don't know, I guess? It is more bad from conception rather than execution, but also the pacing is just awful
negative · AI labelView post →First poster for Olivia Wilde’s new film ‘THE INVITE’, starring Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton and Olivia Wilde herself. The film follows a couple on the verge of breaking up when their neighbors show up for dinner & make everything worse. Trailer releases tomorrow.
neutral · AI labelView post →god I've just come out of The Invite and I had SUCH a good time, can't remember the last time a movie managed to get a whole room laughing this often, and it ended up being unexpectedly quite emotionally deft, pretty sure it'll end up being one of my films of 2026, what a joy
positive · AI labelView post →The Invite was a very funny and perfectly delivered film, if anyone cares

neutral · AI labelView post →The Invite (2026) gave me more raucous belly laughs than any other film in over a year, but it's also so relentlessly uncomfortable to sit through that I staggered out of the theater wondering if the straight folk are all right.
positive · AI labelView post →Last week I alluded to seeing a film that irritated me so much at first that I thought about walking out, but that impressed and moved me in the end. The Invite was that film. Strong performances all around, though Rogen stands out most, thus my extravagant praise. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-...
positive · AI labelView post →Absolutely loved this film ‘The Invite’! I was very lucky I didn’t see a single thing about it before watching, so the plot was a complete surprise. The writing, directing, and acting was top tier! And Penelope Cruz is an absolute smoke show 🔥 10/10 no notes

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie The Invite was smart, well made, and lots of fun. It made me think more highly of all four actors, the director (also one of the actors), and Rashida Jones, who cowrote the screenplay. I liked them all already! But I like them more now. 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.
positive · AI labelView post →[spoilers for The Invite] I like how you can tell it's an American movie by how they never end up having sex
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched "The Invite" on the plane today, highly recommend, what an incisive little movie
positive · AI labelView post →I’ll stop posting about how good The Invite was really soon (go see it!), but I hadn’t fully absorbed hoe frustrated my recent run of “so many bad films about marriage” had made me until I saw a good film about marriage again.
positive · AI labelView post →Movie Of The Day... The Invite 🍿🎥 Let's give this one a whirl.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Invite is an utterly dominating comeback by Olivia Wilde. Really enjoyed that the last scene of the film is the first time that she and Rogan are the same plane. Thoughtful, well-made movie #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday
positive · AI labelView post →If you're looking for a good movie to see this weekend, check out The Invite. I saw it at the Chicago Film Critics Festival some months back and adored it so much that I saw it again when it got its broader release recently. Truly my favorite film about relationships in ages. Also, so funny.
positive · AI labelView post →i just realized The Invite is basically facade the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw the new Olivia Wilde movie The Invite and it was surprisingly very funny But then I looked up how old Penelope Cruz is after being in awe of how hot she was the whole time (much older than me, it turns out) and hurt my own feelings
positive · AI labelView post →but even though “The Invite” was shot on FILM it still had shallow focus at times and also isn’t super colorful and isn’t high contrast [it had mostly soft lighting] so maybe it isn’t even a real movie?
negative · AI labelView post →Producers wouldn’t let Olivia Wilde shoot THE INVITE on film, so she paid for it herself. When the movie sold big to A24, the producers paid her back. Baller.
neutral · AI labelView post →As a girl, I wish the superhero girl movies weren't the ones to bomb. As a grownup, I gotta admit Leviticus, Girls Like Girls, The Invite, and Jackass are all on my list before another superhero movie. Multitudes etc.
positive · AI labelView post →Saw The Invite again today (my partner couldn’t make it the first time). Enjoyed it even more. Just a delight to see a film about relationships in trouble that actually engages intelligently with the things that actually cause relationship difficulties.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched an amazing film tonight called "The Invite" with Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogan, Ed Norton & Penelope Cruz RS
positive · AI labelView post →The Invite 👍 This has been film review corner.

positive · AI labelView post →'The Invite' Review: Olivia Wilde directs the hell out of four people in one apartment. www.ign.com/articles/the...
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Invite last night and it is an incredibly well-acted and well-written movie that is able to hold onto you the whole time with only 4 actors in one apartment. Amazing! It's 12 Angry Men but about dying relationships!
positive · AI labelView post →I enjoyed A24's comedy The Invite, but not as much as other critics; my review gets into the weeds of why. Seth Rogen+ Olivia Wilde are a couple disrupted by exotic pals Edward Norton+Penelope Cruz; it's a welcome change to the usual silly summer movies. 3 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/07/05/t...
neutral · AI labelView post →Not sure if I've mentioned that I saw The Invite on Friday night at The Chicago Critics Film Festival, and I loved it. What a great film. Pretty early on, I wanted to grab another drink, but there were no lulls where I felt like I could miss anything. The humor and tension were consistent throughout
positive · AI labelView post →anyway you know what's a really good movie? The Invite! great writing great directing great acting. jokes! a story for adults! loved it
positive · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie - bonkers anime coming-of-age(?) story. The Killers (1946) - Citizen Kane style Hemingway adaptation. Welcome 2 The Terrordome - fiery and grim afrofuturist flick. The Invite - very solid chamber piece.
positive · AI labelView post →New Projector Short! Olivia Wilde throws one hell of party in The Invite, the US version of a popular (and frequently remade) Spanish film, where she, Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton are brought together for a night of saucy secrets and very big laughs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-nZ...
neutral · AI labelView post →"When I look at this film, I feel the most proud of this performance, and I think it’s because there was an element of confession in the performance and in the direction that felt raw and worthwhile." I spoke with director-star Olivia Wilde about her hilarious and rueful new film THE INVITE
neutral · AI labelView post →Really enjoyed The Invite! The perfect film length for intense comedic relationship tension
positive · AI labelView post →Sun. aft. movie - The Invite. Dir. by Olivia Wilde w/Seth Rogan, Edward Norton, Penelope Cruz. Well written, smart, very funny - many laugh out loud moments. One couple on thin ice, Wilde/Rogan, invite Norton/Cruz, upstairs neighbours for dinner & well let's say things get weird. Highly recommend.
positive · AI labelView post →For the Locarno Film Festival I wrote about Olivia Wilde’s THE INVITE, whose screening tonight at the Piazza Grande is completely sold out! Read: www.locarnofestival.ch/news/2026/pa...

positive · AI labelView post →i have a free movie ticket so i'm going to see The Invite and just tell myself i'm not supporting a24 because i'm not buying a ticket :)
neutral · AI labelView post →I've seen THE INVITE twice now — one at a screening and one with an audience — and honestly I was struck in the theater by how long it's been since I heard people laugh together so much at a movie theater
positive · AI labelView post →Clock watching used to be a communal event. Muy buena. Almost 5 hr long movie. Great follow up to The Invite 🤭 #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched
neutral · AI labelView post →Seth Rogan has long been brilliant at playing shlubs who somehow find themselves with beautiful, successful women. See Knocked Up and Take This Waltz (Sarah Polley's excellent film). But he outdoes his shlubness in Olivia Wilde's The Invite. Highly recommended.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Odyssey was fantastic, but my favorite movie this year is still The Invite Tho I haven’t seen Obsession yet
positive · AI labelView post →Go see The Invite. If u need a break, & to laugh, and to see people being actual humans speaking impeccable dialogue made the way movies used to be made, go see The Invite. All 4 of them are a revelation. Every second. I haven’t laughed that hard in a movie in years. I cried too. Bravo.

neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like there's ways of saying how good a movie The Invite is without needing to pretend that wasn't a gigantic misfire.
negative · AI labelView post →The Invite is A Christmas Carol for latchkey kids who grew up watching Married with Children and thought that’s what adulthood was supposed to be. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky #moviesky boxd.it/gpFVS5

positive · AI labelView post →If you want to watch two couples at a dinner party go off like a chemical reaction, The Invite (2026) is your movie. Whew.
