'It's the hardest, most thankless job...'

Twilight's Elizabeth Reaser talks 'erasure' of middle-aged actresses ahead of new film The Uninvited in which she plays an actress-turned-housewife

- 

Most of us have a point - or several - in our lives where we wonder: 'Where has the time gone, and what have I done with it?'

Rose, the protagonist in Nadia Conners' debut comedy-drama The Uninvited, finds herself having one of those moments when an elderly woman turns up at her front door as she and her husband are about to host a star-studded party in their home.

Rose, played by Twilight star Elizabeth Reaser, used to be a renowned theatre actress but has now found herself as a stay-at-home mum, looking after the son she shares with her Hollywood agent husband Sammy, played by The White Lotus star-and director Conners' husband-Walton Goggins.

The couple-well, mainly Sammy-have planned an intimate soiree to impress star client Gerald, played by The Diplomat star Rufus Sewell, but the evening is thrown into disarray when a confused elderly woman arrives, claiming that their home is hers.
