Directed by Olivia Wilde

Star Cast : Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton

Overview:The Invite is a smart, uncomfortable, and highly entertaining exploration of modern marriage, fidelity,

Storyline : The entire film unfolds almost entirely within a single setting: a newly, almost pathologically curated apartment belonging to Joe (Seth Rogen), a frustrated ex-musician turned teacher, and his high-strung, stay-at-home wife Angela (Olivia Wilde).

is in the rocks ,as they both are , exacerbated by the fact that they are routinely kept awake by the incredibly loud, uninhibited sex sounds coming from Pína and Hawk’s apartment.

When Angela surprises Joe by inviting those exact neighbors—Pína (Penélope Cruz), a sexologist, and Hawk (Edward Norton), a fluid, alternative-health practitioner—down for dinner, the stage is set for an agonizingly funny and tense collision. The polite small talk quickly evaporates when the guests reveal the true reason they accepted the invitation: a proposition for partner swapping from thereon lots of twist in conversation happen and reality check also happens about relationship between angela and her husband that forms the crux of the movie

Technical Review :

The trick of Olivia Wilde’s film and its luminious screenplay by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack is its structure. Based on the Spanish film The People Upstairs, Wilde’s picture borrows the original’s real-time setting of an unwieldy night of collapsing inhibitions and glasses of wine giving way to low-lit confessions in a cozy apartment’s corners. The Invite does so with a dizzying amount of humor and raw honesty

Jones and McCormack’s dialogue is biting, fast-paced, and deeply honest about what happens when the initial spark of a long-term relationship completely burns out.

Performances: The chemistry among the four leads is electric. Seth Rogen delivers some of his finest dramatic work to date, layering his classic comedic timing with a palpable, exhausted vulnerability. Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton are spectacular as the uninhibited, ultra-confident foils who unravel the hosts’ brittle monogamy.
