The Invite

“The Invite is marvelously entertaining, but part of the reason for that is that I think a lot of people are going to see themselves mirrored in this movie, which for all its sharp-tongued bravura is humane enough to play a truth game that rings true.”

“Issues millions of people face everyday are addressed cleverly and poignantly, and never without a hint of humor. Wilde isn’t really interested in sentimentality, either, and her movie hits harder for it.”

Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post · 100

“An uproariously funny take on modern relationships.”

Kent M. Wilhelm, The Film Stage · 100

“The most remarkable thing about The Invite is not the films it is like, but in the way we are invited to be part of something special, thoughtful, and refreshingly hopeful.”

“As raucous as The Invite gets when it’s in go-for-broke comedy mode, it’s just as powerful in its dramatic stages. Movies rarely venture so far into the hearts of ordinary people trying to do their best but suspecting they have made a great many irreparable mistakes.”
