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.

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.

The Invite has an energy and seamlessness that feel innate and natural, but the main reason that the frisky, First-World, mid-life crisis has any teeth is its cast and the material’s edgy irreverence.

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.
