The Univited

Rose" (Elizabeth Reaser) is married to talent agent "Sammy" (Walton Goggins) and they are preparing for a make-or-break party at their home one evening when the sound of a repetitious car horn sends her out to investigate. That's when she meets "Helen" (Lois Smith). She's an elderly lady convinced that she lives in their house, and when "Rose" takes her in whilst trying to summon some help her presence seems to galvanise her family and their guests into a series of revealingly uninteresting and cocaine-induced home truths that drags the whole thing into the doldrums of a melodrama populated by some seriously mediocre actors adequately reflected by the presence of Rufus Sewell! Actually, any scene stealing probably just belongs to a toilet doorknob, to Smith and to an enthusiastic effort from Roland Rubio as their son "Wilder". Otherwise it's really just a collection of who cares people that engender very little interest in their self-induced and/or self-serving problems. Stereotypes galore, sorry!

A waste of amazing actors

After watching Pedro Pascal and Walter Goggins absolutely dominate in The Last of Us and Fallout, I was really hoping/expecting there would be more to this than the description. Some kind of time-travel thing or something to make it interesting. (Between the title and setting, my mind kept going back to The Invitation, which definitely had its shortcomings but was at least creative) Unfortunately, it's just a straight drama. For what it is it's done very well, but the entire movie is just interpersonal drama with layers of trivial love story. It's a story, just not one worth telling.The movie is done very well, so if you're someone that likes filling your head with banal personal BS, it's definitely worth checking out. If you like stories with creativity, definitely skip this. Pedro Pascal's charisma may seem endless, but it can't carry this much.

Beautiful, raw, hilarious and heartbreaking

This film was not what I was expecting. I walked into a comedy and left with my heart in a thousand pieces. Not many films have moved me to tears on that many levels - it was a balanced exchange of wit and woe. Despite being set in the Hollywood Hills, the tensions and conflicts, especially around identify and relationships will resonate deeply with many.The nuances in the storytelling leave you with a lot to unpack and it's one of those films you could see multiple times and still find something new and revealing about the characters. Elizabeth Reaser (Rose) and Lois Smith (Helen) are brillant in bringing to life two women with shared experiences of loss and of being lost.It will stay with me for a while this one.
