The Invite

2026· 1h 47m

Dinner, desire, and everything left unsaid

Joe and Angela's marriage is on thin ice, so they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors down for a dinner party, and the evening tips into places no one planned. Olivia Wilde directs and stars alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Penelope Cruz in a comedy, drama, and romance that crackles with the tension of two couples reading each other across a candlelit table. At 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.8 on IMDb, it is the kind of film that will keep you talking on the walk home.

Flirty, charged, a little dangerous
Sharp ensemble, real chemistry
Endless conversation fuel afterward

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman anchor a story that is cozy and enchanting in equal measure, the sort of atmosphere made for leaning close together. It is easygoing, heartfelt, and quietly swoony.
