The Invite

2026· 1h 47m

A dinner party that lights a spark

Olivia Wilde directs and stars opposite Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penelope Cruz in a sly story of marriage, desire and one unforgettable night when Joe and Angela invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors to dinner. It is witty, a little dangerous, and full of real feeling under the laughs, the kind of evening out that leaves you trading theories and teasing each other all the way home. Rated 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 on IMDb, it is as sharp as date nights get.

Before Midnight

A long love, tested on a Greek summer

Richard Linklater reunites Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as Jesse and Celine, now raising twin daughters and sharing a summer in Greece as Jesse begins to weigh the choices that shaped their life together. This returning favorite is tender, talky and honest about what it means to love someone for years, and it will have the two of you comparing notes long after the credits. It earns a rare 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.9 on IMDb. One heads-up: it screens only once in the city this week, so plan the evening around it.
