Gift, The (15)

Gift, The (15)

Mystery, Thriller

A young married couple's lives are thrown into a harrowing tailspin when an acquaintance from the husband's past brings mysterious gifts and a horrifying secret to light after more than 20 years.


The critical consensus

This resourceful and edgy thriller marks another string in the talented Edgerton's bow.

****(*)Kim Newman, Empire Online, 03/08/2015

Joel Edgerton makes his directorial debut with this mostly impressive thriller.

***(*)(*)Nikki Baughan, The List, 03/08/2015

In an impressive and unnerving directing debut, Joel Edgerton applies the same quiet assurance and attention to detail he’s displayed in his acting projects.

****(*)Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 06/08/2015

Intelligent, well-crafted, unpretentious thrillers like this don’t come along all that often any more. For fans of this sort of film, The Gift feels in tune with its title.

****(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 08/08/2015

Bullying and its consequences masquerading as a thriller.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 07/08/2015

Edgerton, Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall are all on form in this tense, creepy and far from routine home-invasion thriller.

****(*)Jonathan Romney, The Observer, 09/08/2015

The film has a European feel about it that makes it more edgy, chilling and well-worth seeing.
