The Invite

Angela and Joe’s marriage has seen better days; it’s nothing but a daily grind and constant bickering. How different it is for their upstairs neighbours, Pina and Hawk, who are particularly ‘active’ at night, much to Joe’s annoyance. When Angela invites the neighbours round for dinner, Joe sees this as the perfect opportunity to give those two a piece of his mind. But the dinner takes a completely different turn, turning into an evening that won’t be forgotten in a hurry.

In 2020, Spanish director Cesc Gay made Sentimental, a razor-sharp and highly successful comedy about a jaded couple and their exciting upstairs neighbours. In the years that followed, Italian, Swiss, French and South Korean remakes were released. And now there is also an American version, directed by actress/director Olivia Wilde. Alongside Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, she herself stars in one of the leading roles.
