In the SXSW Film Festival favorite, The Invitation, an intense and unpredictable story of loss and redemption plays out one evening over dinner. When Will and Kira are invited to a dinner party, things seem normal… until they’re not. David and Eden have asked the couple over, along with some other friends, not just to partake of food and wine, but to hawk an alternative agenda. If this isn’t awkward enough, Will begins to suspect other underlying motives in the friendly couple’s banter. And he can’t quite trust anyone, especially since he knows Eden so well—his ex-wife who he hasn’t seen in the last two years. As the night stretches on, Will’s paranoia grows more acute, as he suspects the worst in a tense situation that may be of his own making. An expertly paced thriller that constantly surprises, The Invitation will leave you guessing until the shocking end.
