Nothing to fear.

Will drives to a house in the Hollywood Hills with his girlfriend, Kira. His ex-wife, Eden, has organized a dinner to introduce her new husband, David. Will and Eden have a difficult past: they divorced after losing their young son, and this will be the first time their friends have seen the couple in more than two years. Will arrives intending to spend the evening without reopening old wounds. But as the night goes on, he starts noticing gestures and silences that don't add up, and suspects Eden has a reason for inviting him.

Quotes by The Invitation

  • I'm so glad you're here. We have a lot to talk about. So much to say tonight.
  • Maybe I wasn't prepared to be here tonight.
  • Grief, anger, depression, abuse... it's all just chemical reactions.
  • Forgiveness doesn't have to wait. I'm free to forgive myself and so are you. It's a beautiful thing. It really is.
  • Each one of us is on a journey and we feel it's important to be on this journey with the people you love.
  • It's not about grief or counseling, or family. It's about fucking denial.
