‘The Uninvited’ Review: A Starry Cast Attends a Hollywood Soiree That Can Feel a Little Too Exclusive
A Hollywood party becomes a critical look at who the industry excludes in Nadia Conners' 'The Uninvited' starring Walton Goggins and Elizabeth Reaser.
As its title suggests, there’s a limited guest list in “ The Uninvited,” a keen critique of Hollywood that will play best to the insider set that Rose (Elizabeth Reaser) and Sammy Wright (Walton Goggins) welcome into their gated villa in the hills. Yet unlike Conners, no one has probably told Rose that she might make a good director after begrudgingly accepting the role of homemaker, frantically doting over every detail in staging a party for her manager husband’s star client, Gerald (Rufus Sewell), putting out any potential fire before it happens. Still, there are long, intense monologues and overdetermined dialogue that can be an unfortunate tip-off to its origins, particularly when Helen sits in the living room as the party goes on, largely as an audience for Rose and Sammy to vent after taking turns as hosts.
