4/5

Wilde’s latest slots into a rich lineage of hilariously awkward sex comedies. With a stellar cast finding alchemy in their contrasting styles, it’s daringly close to the bone and frequently fall-off-your-chair funny.

It’s the sort of one-location, star-driven ensemble piece that could have merely been a theatrical exercise, and somehow manages to avoid being either stagy or stodgy. Even more impressive is how the actors sync up their own unique performance styles.

Sometimes it’s diverting enough to see four stars at work for an evening, which is exactly what The Invite did on a Saturday night at Sundance’s Eccles Theatre and perhaps other rooms in future.

The Invite is a funny, thoughtful relationship dramedy that feels as revealing as couples therapy.

Olivia Wilde's deliciously funny and smart comedy about a couple who have the simmering war of their relationship interrupted by the sexy, raucous duo who live above.

Super funny, astounding direction and acting, a great use of Seth Rogen and Ed Norton, with a score that gives this a special kind of personality. Olivia Wilde loaded up the bases knocked this one out of the park. The cast is all around great, but she takes this thing up a notch. I love what she is doing behind and in front of the camera. Her acting choices are great, and the performance manages to feel both thoughtful and organic. I also love where she chooses to put the camera. Whether it be us at a distance from the characters, or right up in their space for comedic or dramatic purposes. It feels intentionally shot and made with care. I think this movie is a total win for Wilde and Co. and I’m glad I got to experience it in a theater. Her movie is thoughtful. It’s hilarious with mature sensibilities too. Probably the most I’ve consistently and hardily laughed in a while. It left me with a lot to chew on too. I love it for that. It’s a special one. MY PODCAST: MORBID CURIOSITIES
