One night in the Hollywood Hills, Rose and Sammy's party is interrupted by an unexpected stranger. As drinks flow and secrets spill, ambition and identity clash in a sharp, unhinged look at a world obsessed with youth and fame.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

The Uninvited is similarly haphazard and, even by the film’s shamefully saccharine finale, has little to say other than “life is short, and making movies sucks”.

Rated: 2/5

Financial Times

Despite the haunted glamour, though, The Uninvited plays less like David Lynch than a night out at the theatre. The framing is tight, the tempo brisk, the dialogue peppy.

Rated: 3/5

Guardian

We’re invited to laugh at the characters gently but The Uninvited never goes for all-out satire and is all the better for it, even if the last act is overly neat.

Rated: 3/5

Shadows on the Wall

Writer-director Nadia Conners and her terrific ensemble bring things to life with strong emotional resonance.

Sunday Independent (Ireland)

Even the best actors are incapable of delivering bad lines, and it certainly shows in this stagey, stodgy melodrama.

Rufus Sewell (as a megalomaniacal director client of Sammy's) and Pedro Pascal (as an old flame of Rose's whose movie stardom eclipsed her career) bring additional weight to the drama, but it's [Lois] Smith who anchors it in something meaningful.

Rated: 4/5
