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.

If there is more pleasure to be had than watching great actors behaving badly, I would genuinely wish to know about it.

The Invite beautifully conveys that, no matter how open we might be -- or, crucially, believe we might be -- there will be barriers that arise, ones that must be dealt with instead of hidden behind.

The Invite feels like a throwback to the grown up films of the ’70s and early ’80s. What an absolute pleasure. Grownups are back, baby!

'The Invite' is a clever adult dramedy about intimate - sort of - behavior.

Funny, uncomfortable, and perceptive about four people trying to figure out whether they want different partners, different marriages, or simply some distance from the people they’ve allowed themselves to become.

Curiously, the connections are merely superficial since this is a 2026 production where relationships are displayed as being shorn of convention and explored by way of openness to speak freely of sexual activity in all its onlyfans permutations.

Not what you expected from the running title poster lines. Great casting and Olivia Wilde “can” direct. A very “adult” comedic drama

Ending was inconclusive, but movie itself was thought provoking. Lots of tension and drama between the couples.

Not my kind of movie. Too much bickering. The sex partner exchange idea, and future sex parties with couple upstairs, as well as the knowledgeable "therapist" of the upstairs couple were juvenile to me.

As a musician and piano player who’s taken time away from the keys, this enjoyable comedy about lust took a heartfelt, and relatable turn in the last 10 minutes. Thank you to everyone.
