Olivia Wilde's The Invite: A Bit of Boredom, a Bit of Fun

The Invite is a movie about two couples who live in the same building, one apartment right above the other.

Angela and Joe are unhappy, restless, and bored with their lives.

Their neighbours Pina and Hawk are carefree and seem to enjoy life to the fullest.

One night, the upstairs couple comes down for dinner.

At first everyone is friendly, but the conversation slowly turns mean, sarcastic, and full of tantrums.

Old secrets start coming out and make everyone uncomfortable.

It is called a chamber story because almost everything happens inside two flats over one night.

A film critic says the movie only partly works: the first half is slow, but the second half becomes exciting.

The critic especially praises Penélope Cruz's acting and says she holds the whole film together.

In the end, the critic describes The Invite as "a bit of boredom, a bit of fun."
