The new film by Olivia Wilde (Don't Worry Darling, Booksmart) – about Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Olivia Wilde), a couple whose marriage has hit a dead end.

The Invite at the Cineville Preview Days
Are married couples ok? In The Invite, director Olivia Wilde takes us within the four walls of a gorgeous petrol-blue apartment, where a situationship quickly become painfully relatable – and very entertaining. The film was highly praised at 2026’s Sundance Film Festival. Director Olivia Wilde cast herself as a snobbish intellectual obsessed with her much cooler upstairs neighbours, while her depressed husband (Seth Rogen) can't stand them because of their crazy bedroom noises. A breakup in the making? Just wait until you meet the neighbours: a blonde Penélope Cruz as sexually liberated psychotherapist Piña and her empathetic partner Hawk (Edward Norton). Honestly, who could possibly resist these two?
