All Guild Reviews of The Invite
Olivia Wilde's Couples Comedy is a Funny, Awkward Look Into Long-Term Relationships
Written by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones, the English remake of a get-together gone wrong is also searingly insightful.
The Invite, directed by Olivia Wilde, opens with an Oscar Wilde quote, “One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.” The Hollywood comedy is set in a San Francisco couple who invite their neighbours over one evening. It exposes the two couples to own up to some uncomfortable admissions and realise some suppressed truths about themselves. With only four actors in the cast, The Invite works as an engaging play that delivers steady one-liners and insights as the characters experience every emotion under the sun. Wilde impressively guides the feature to an absorbing ending that perfectly sums up human relationships.
