The Invite Delivers a Sharp, Surprising Dinner-Party Comedy
TL;DR Summary
Olivia Wilde’s US remake of The People Upstairs tightens a two-couple dinner party into a sharp, funny study of bourgeois anxiety. Anchored by a nimble ensemble (Rogen, Norton, Cruz, Wilde) and guided by Wilde’s precise direction, The Invite rises above its constraints to become a minor miracle of a sex comedy and a career high for Wilde.
