    68/100 An admirable and sleek debut by actor-turned-director Joel Edgerton, The Gift succeeds because of its careful craft and understated creepiness. Starting out as an uninteresting slow-burn, the performances by Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, and Joel Edgerton keep the…

    There hasn't been an ending that infuriated me so much in some time—not only to decentre Robyn from what was until then her perspective/film but to turn her into an object for the male characters in the last 15 minutes and use a gross plot device is just awful. Rebecca Hall…

    Meh is too harsh so I will Like. It was interesting, just a little slow. It had a good twist and I enjoyed how it made you question who the villain was. I love Jason Bateman, he was great in this. I was a fan of the dog also, he was cute and I was glad he lived. RIP koi fish.

    A crazy roller coaster from start to finish. I definitely didn’t think a thriller could be effective with mild violence and no deaths. This movie proved me wrong. 9/10

    I really liked it. The movie kept taking me through all kinds of emotions and the tension kept building the whole time. Also, the ending was really nice by keeping it ambiguous!!!

    Pretty tense, but the ending left a lot to be desired. It was way too abrupt but at the same time I don’t see where the story could have gone from there.

The film ends with a delicious question, an uncertainty that will linger long after the credits roll – no ribbon is tied on The Gift.

The debutant director applies himself with the same quiet assurance and attention to detail he’s displayed in his acting projects.

Joel Edgerton's boilerplate direction is a blessing for a genre increasingly saddled with literal visualizations of madness.
