Critics Consensus

A ridiculous revenge story set to never deliver, this narratively inert would-be thriller will leave most viewers wishing they could Return to Sender.

Awful. Awful storyline. Awful acting. The actor who played the victims father was dreadful. The best actor was the dog who sadly died.

Oddly Compelling, Pike was mesmerising. The outline was there for a movie, but the abrupt rushed ending undoes the slow buildup. The film couldn't work out if it was a PTSD drama or revenge movie. The ending left more questions than answers. If it took less time getting to the point, and more time with the twist itself and her dark side and her motivations for doing the things she did, there would actually be tension rather than the laughable ending.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

[It] seems to exist only to answer the unasked question "What would "I Spit on Your Grave" have been like if the main character had been Martha Stewart?"

Mikati never settles on whether he's steering an identity crisis drama or an exploitative vengeance fantasy.

Neil Genzlinger

New York Times

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, the missing wife of "Gone Girl."

Return to Sender, starring Rosamund Pike, isn't quite what it seems...

Despite its occasional missteps, this hybrid of Gone Girl and Misery is bizarrely compelling.

Rated: 4/5

One Room With A View

Even Rosamund Pike is recycling her performance, and she knows it; it's simply a Gone Girl rip off that will lose even the most forgiving viewer in the third act.

Rated: 2/5
