For most of the way, Return to Sender merges creepy and sexy to good effect, thanks to a close-to-the-vest performance by Rosamund Pike. Read full review

Serena Donadoni

Aug 11, 2015

Even with the dramatic buildup, Mikati hesitates to make Return to Sender an all-out revenge fantasy, and the characters are too sketchy for an effective psychological thriller. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Aug 13, 2015

Fouad Mikati's tawdry psychological thriller features the talented actress in a film that bears no small resemblance in theme, if not quality, to the hit movie version of Gillian Flynn's best-seller. Read full review

A queasy but strangely gutless exploitation pic. Read full review

Clayton Dillard

Aug 8, 2015

The kind of wholly misconceived thriller that begs asking precisely what its filmmakers were seeking to accomplish. Read full review

Katherine Pushkar

Aug 12, 2015

Pike phones in a reprise of her Oscar-nominated “Gone Girl” performance, complete with brittle perfection and a loose screw. Fernandez can’t decide whether his rapist is a menacing thug or a sexy innocent. And as Miranda’s father, a bearded, hatted, suspendered Nick Nolte seems to have wandered in from the set of “Witness 2: Amish and Loving It.” Read full review

Dreck of the lowest kind — a sleazy exploitation film that is all the worse because it has somehow convinced itself that it is thoughtful and profound. Read full review

Although their could be a slight difference between having a lost lover contingent between having directors, and people see that having a slight direction of a woman planning out a way to stay on top, dominate others and still keep a performance. Living out the Idea that Gone Girl, was onAlthough their could be a slight difference between having a lost lover contingent between having directors, and people see that having a slight direction of a woman planning out a way to stay on top, dominate others and still keep a performance. Living out the Idea that Gone Girl, was on the top and between the two films, you could see at least she keeps the Ideas alive that expects male counterparts to exert beyond the so called narrative of a female up-standish-ness should or should not be moderated by a man. Any person to butt into someones life and live over the top of it. Thinking this is funny that this male counterpart tried to extablish that he could not dominate over this slow predictable dead air, genre.… Expand

Tries to be like Hard Candy, which in itself tried to be like an edgier, self-righteous Misery. Hard Candy failed at this and Return to Sender failed at being Hard Candy. There is no demographic that the film is aimed at: rape victims are usually not sociopaths, men would fall asleepTries to be like Hard Candy, which in itself tried to be like an edgier, self-righteous Misery. Hard Candy failed at this and Return to Sender failed at being Hard Candy. There is no demographic that the film is aimed at: rape victims are usually not sociopaths, men would fall asleep immediately... A ridiculous film that aims to do nothing and accomplishes it.… Expand

A terrible terrible pointless nonsense movie.
first of all, that actor has some problems, I have watched 2 of her movies (gone girl and this nonsense) and both have some crazy senses,

I don't see any point in this movie.
it only wants to make people watch it for having sexual content.
