Joe and Angela, a couple in crisis, invite their upstairs neighbours Pina and Hawk over for a dinner party. What could go wrong?

Step aside, Project Hail Mary, another one of the year’s best films has arrived.

The Invite, directed by Olivia Wilde, tells the story of Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Wilde), a long-time couple stuck in a loveless marriage.

When Angela invites their enigmatic, free-spirited neighbours, Pina (Penelope Cruz) and Hawk (Edward Norton), over to their San Francisco apartment, they are forced to confront their unhappiness, their ongoing dry spell and the general state of their relationship.

An English-language remake of the 2020 Spanish film The People Upstairs, The Invite is a wild, unpredictable ride. You have no idea how the evening is going to go, what secrets will be revealed and how Joe and Angela will feel about each other at the end of the night.

The script, written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, is rich, juicy and smart and manages to be hilarious one moment, sad the next and unbearably awkward in another.
