The Invite

2026· 1h 47m

A dinner party that could go anywhere

Olivia Wilde directs and stars alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz in this comedy-drama-romance about a marriage on thin ice — and the enigmatic neighbors invited up for a night that spirals somewhere no one planned. It's the rare date film that's funny, charged and a little dangerous, the kind that keeps you nudging each other in the dark and then talking the whole way home. Come for the sparks, stay to argue playfully about whether they reignited the flame or lit the match that burns it all down.

flirty, combustible, wickedly fun
a knockout cast at full tilt
guaranteed to spark conversation after

Call Me by Your Name

One Italian summer that rewrites two lives

Luca Guadagnino's sun-drenched romance drifts through the summer of 1983, where 17-year-old Elio and a visiting graduate student fall into a tenderness that will alter them forever — Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer aching under the Italian light. It's all longing and warm skin and is it better to speak or die?, a film that makes you reach for the person beside you. Screenings are very limited this week, so treat this as a catch-it-while-you-can evening.

Tuner

A quiet man with one dangerous gift

A gifted piano tuner discovers his meticulous ear also cracks safes, and his careful life tips beautifully off its axis — Leo Woodall leads a stylish crime thriller with Dustin Hoffman and Jean Reno in the mix. It's suspense with a wink rather than menace, elegant and clever enough to leave you both trading theories over a nightcap. Only a couple of screenings remain this week, so catch it while you still can.
