Is this the first time we’re covering a film that we already covered on the podcast? Yes, but in this case I wasn’t there for Episode 32 which focused on the films of Karyn Kusama, so The Invitation was a new experience for me. And now having watched it, I can see why 1) so many people hold it in such high regard, and 2) I was right in holding off seeing it for so long. This is one I’m happy to admire from afar. I get it, I see what Kusama is after, and yeah – the dread and tension is excruciating. But this is very much not my kind of movie, and makes me uncomfortable in way I suspect the filmmakers intended, but honestly at this time in my life I don’t need. That’s okay, though. Good movie.
