The Daily BeastNick SchagerApr 14, 2025
Gracefully balancing its lighter and darker concerns, it’s a witty ride whose poignancy—like adulthood itself—sneaks up on you. Read full review

The Daily Beast Fletcher PetersMar 26, 2024
The film works best when it’s a psychological drama or a deeper look at certain characters (particularly Rose, although Sammy gets his time, too) instead of a biting satire about the entertainment industry. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiMar 25, 2024
The dialogue-driven movie is genuinely funny and heartfelt, rarely, if ever, losing its momentum from start to finish. Conners is a confident director, bringing together a story that is personal while touching upon issues women face as they age with grace and care. Read full review

EmpireJamie GrahamMay 12, 2025
Jazzily scored and cut, The Uninvited hangs in the Hollywood hills and vibes like a ’90s indie. It’s no Swingers but it’s well-acted and makes entertainment of its earnest themes. Read full review

The GuardianLeslie FelperinMay 6, 2025
We’re invited to laugh at the characters gently but The Uninvited never goes for all-out satire and is all the better for it, even if the last act is overly neat. Read full review

The TimesKevin MaherMay 8, 2025
The Uninvited is similarly haphazard and, even by the film’s shamefully saccharine finale, has little to say other than “life is short, and making movies sucks. Read full review
