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.

Guess who’s coming to dinner? You’re the extra guest … and you’re ready for anything, too.

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.

Don’t worry, darling — Olivie Wilde’s new movie is a lot better than her last one.

This is just a brilliant film. So well-written and absolutely hilarious with the various screw-ball situations these characters get into. Olivia Wilde is a fantastic director.

Jones and McCormack's screenplay, brimming with clever one-liners, presents four very distinct yet recognisable characters, each with their own unique wants and motives, and has great fun setting them against each other and watching the sparks fly.

A near flawless film - dialogue, narrative, acting, cinematography. the range of human emotions and interactions and a reactions this film explores is truly mind-boggling and each one is executed perfectly.

To me the movie was mid. There is definitely a few funny parts, but very anti climatic.
