The Invite

This will be the sleeper film of 2026, obviously I really hope that it makes it big at the box office but it’s releasing in a very delicate period.

That said, the film is fantastic, I cannot praise it enough

Here I was thinking comedy was dead and then Olivia and this perfect cast comes back to resuscitate it.

Olivia, you are a mastermind and I have a lot to learn, directing was wonderful.

To the writers, for the love of god, never and I mean never stop making films.

You can see a lot of improv in here and it works so well, every character studied to perfection by the wonderful actors and every character so distinct from one another.

Cinematography, simple yet brilliant, using every corner of the location and every split in the mindset of the characters translated through visuals, wow.

The 35mm film, perfect for this, perfect, I don’t use this word often, color was awesome too, again, simple but true and effective.

Nothing of this feels forced, which is a recurring theme in new comedies of this decade. Seth’s character was hilarious and every word or look made me laugh.

Edward Norton’s character did the exact same thing, I was dying of laughter, the rug thing made me lose it.

Olivia Wilde’s character was a mess and it was working so well against Seth’s character, total opposites yet the same.

And wow, Penelope Cruz, loved the performance.

Overall, one of the top of 2026 and I’m saying this with confidence even though we got 5 months to go still.

And again, holy f**k that writing was good, unforgettable.

Fuck this couple who were sat to my left who were aggressively making out at various parts throughout the movie. I get that Olivia and Penelope – and Norton if that’s your vibe – are hot, but please keep me out of this. Or Invite me!! Adored this so much. Monday Surprise Premiere

What the shit. If u like this movie i’m seriously judging you so hard. Your nfi.

I liked the way it was filmed, I’m sure cast was a great choice but this is the fun type of movie you might talk with friends about for a day until you all forget about it.

"my name is pigeon" is the best line in the movie
