It\u2019s being called one of the best movies of the year, and mathematically, that is true.<\/p>\n<p>Among the year\u2019s highest-profile movies with the most reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, The Invite is near the top. Here are the main entries.<\/p>\n<p>Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma \u2013 100% critic scoreIs God Is \u2013 97% critic scoreThe Invite \u2013 95% critic scoreThe Sheep Detectives \u2013 95% critic scoreProject Hail Mary \u2013 94% critic scoreObsession \u2013 94% critic scoreHoppers \u2013 94% critic scoreSent Help \u2013 92% critic scoreToy Story 5 \u2013 92% critic score28 Years Later: The Bone Temple \u2013 91% critic scoreI Love Boosters \u2013 91% critic score<\/p>\n<p>The Invite<\/p>\n<p>Rotten Tomatoes<\/p>\n<p>There may be a festival favorite or documentary or three missing in there, but you get the idea. The Invite boasts four different big names: Ed Norton, Penelope Cruz, Olivia Wilde and Seth Rogen. The film is directed by Olivia Wilde, whose previous film, Don\u2019t Worry Darling, in which she also starred, was the subject of much controversy and far from well-received (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/dont_worry_darling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/dont_worry_darling\" aria-label=\"a 38% Rotten Tomatoes score\">a 38% Rotten Tomatoes score<\/a>). The Invite is a total turnaround with its 95%, and it also currently has a 93% Rotten Tomatoes audience score too, so it\u2019s not only critics that are loving it.<\/p>\n<p>The Invite will be wide-released this weekend on June 10, similar to what\u2019s going to happen with that 100% scored Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which will go wide in August. What\u2019s The Invite about anyway?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe and Angela&#8217;s marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The movie pairs off Norton and Cruz as a couple opposite Rogen and Wilde (Joe and Angela). It is at least somewhat hard to get a true sense of what this movie is and why it\u2019s so good just from the trailer, but the end result is clearly fantastic. It also ranks among the highest-scored films for each of those respective actors across their careers.<\/p>\n<p>We are just over halfway through the year, so we\u2019ll keep an eye on the overall list of top-scored movies as time goes on, but clearly, The Invite is going to maintain a strong presence and could easily be remembered by voters come Oscar season.<\/p>\n<p>Follow me <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" aria-label=\"on Twitter\">on Twitter<\/a>, <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" aria-label=\"YouTube\">YouTube<\/a><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" aria-label=\",\">,<\/a> and <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" aria-label=\"Instagram\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pick up my sci-fi novels the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" aria-label=\"Herokiller series\">Herokiller series<\/a> and <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" aria-label=\"The Earthborn Trilogy\">The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While everyone is currently cheering on Obsession or watching Toy Story 5 and Minions and Monsters rack up&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677090,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,57519,18685,147147,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-677089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-olivia-wilde","tag-rotten-tomatoes","tag-the-invite","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=677089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677089\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
