The new film 'The Invite' is directed by Olivia Wilde, who also stars in one of the lead roles. It is a remake of the 2020 Spanish film 'Sentimental' (also known as 'The People Upstairs').
The entire action takes place in one evening and within a single apartment. What starts as an innocent night with neighbors gradually turns into an unexpectedly open conversation about marriage, sex, and daily routine – topics that partners often avoid mentioning for years.
The review notes that the film does not rely on a thrilling plot or impressive special effects. Its main strength lies in how easily viewers can recognize themselves and their own relationships in the dialogues, which are witty and daring. Although the film includes spicy jokes and provocative situations, the biggest asset is how effortless it is for the audience to identify with the characters' experiences.
