While everyone is currently cheering on Obsession or watching Toy Story 5 and Minions and Monsters rack up big numbers, there is one film breaking out in a different way.

As it stands, A24’s The Invite has a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes from a whopping 143 critics, a very difficult average to maintain with that many reviews in. It’s being called one of the best movies of the year, and mathematically, that is true.

Among the year’s highest-profile movies with the most reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, The Invite is near the top. Here are the main entries.

  • Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma – 100% critic score
  • Is God Is – 97% critic score
  • The Invite – 95% critic score
  • The Sheep Detectives – 95% critic score
  • Project Hail Mary – 94% critic score
  • Obsession – 94% critic score
  • Hoppers – 94% critic score
  • Sent Help – 92% critic score
  • Toy Story 5 – 92% critic score
  • 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple – 91% critic score
  • I Love Boosters – 91% critic score

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’t Worry Darling , in which she also starred, was the subject of much controversy and far from well-received ( a 38% Rotten Tomatoes score ). The Invite is a total turnaround with its 95%, and it also currently has a 93% Rotten Tomatoes audience score too, so it’s not only critics that are loving it.

The Invite will be wide-released this weekend on June 10, similar to what’s going to happen with that 100% scored Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma , which will go wide in August. What’s The Invite about anyway?

“Joe and Angela'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?”

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’s 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.

We are just over halfway through the year, so we’ll 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.
