Olivia Wilde doesn’t need to please all the critics—just these two.
Ahead of the director debuting her new film The Invite, which she stars in alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz, she admitted that her and ex Jason Sudeikis’ kids Otis, 11, and Daisy, 9, are her first test audience.
“They give me their opinions,” Olivia explained to E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview at the Jan. 23 premiere of I Want Your Sex, an official selection of the Premieres section of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. “They want to know what everything is about. They want to know who’s in everything and they’re tough critics.”
Indeed, the 41-year-old—who split from Jason in 2020—admitted they were part of her upcoming film, which received a standing ovation during its Jan. 24 premiere at Sundance.
“They’ve seen movies they never should have seen,” Olivia joked. “They’ve seen a lot of The Invite because I was editing it a lot with them in the room. They’ve seen far too much of The Invite.”
