Film: The Invite (Cert: 16)

About the film

Joe and Angela’s marriage is on the rocks, with endless bickering and a complete lack of intimacy. Tensions boil over one evening when Angela invites their new neighbours Piña and Hawk over for dinner. Despite Joe’s open hostility and Angela’s awkward hosting efforts, their curiosity is ultimately piqued as Piña and Hawk open up about their non-traditional marriage. The night takes a dramatic turn with an unexpected offer from the visitors - one that will test the limits of Joe and Angela’s shaky marriage.


The Invite is an hilarious and perceptive comedy about the messiness of modern relationships, marriage and sex. The four leads are tremendous, with co-star Olivia Wilde also directing the razor-sharp script from Will McCormack and Rashida Jones.

‘So original, so brimming with surprise, so fresh and up-to-the-minute in its perceptions of how relationships work (or don’t), that you watch it in a state of rapt immersion and delight.’

Owen Gleiberman, Variety

‘A genuinely funny and uncommonly intelligent comedy for adults is an invite we have all been waiting for.’

Benjamin Lee, The Guardian
