The AU Review

At times a sobering drama, and others it’s something far more certifiable, Condition of Return is, at least, never a formularized journey.

Film Threat

The drama is engaging, with Cain and McCord playing off each believably. Even if the conclusion is ridiculous to some, this is still well worth catching.

Rated: 7/10

Common Sense Media

It doesn't necessarily break any new ground in the psychological thriller genre, but its reveals are compelling enough that it will keep you thinking about it after the film is over.

Rated: 3/5

The Screening Room Podcast

Tone deaf. Would be laughable, especially in the second half, if it wasn't in such bad taste.

Rated: 1/5

Blu-ray.com

Slides into absurdity quickly, exploring betrayals, suicide, domestic trouble, and Satanic rituals with all the subtlety of a soap opera, sprinting away from any potential gravity the opening scene conjures.

Rated: D

A bold spin on a tired structure, Condition of Return’s unexpected ties to horror enrich the story and elevate the enjoyment factor.

The film was powerful. It brings us to an Awakening about why certain people commit mass shootings. Their struggles with mental health. The Actors were superb. I watched it 3 times and each time I received more. Cinematography was outstanding! Dean Cane, AnnLynn, Jams Russo, Natasha Hendricks and Zaina Juliette were masteful and intriguing. Really impressed with Zaina Juliette in those prison scenes and was taken back at her performance at the airport as a completely different personality which was amazing.

I loved this film. You're rooting for a character that was doing terrible things, asking yourself, why you are rooting for this character that did all these things? At the same time, you see the humanity in that character and all the steps along the way that led them to that kind of final decision. So this film is very much challenging and thought provoking. It's interesting and it definitely opened up a lot of talking points at the end.
