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.

[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?" Go to Full Review

Mikati never settles on whether he's steering an identity crisis drama or an exploitative vengeance fantasy. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 08/13/2015
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." Go to Full Review

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

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

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. Go to Full Review

M F @RT29791080 5d Women unite! Rapist beware. See more Maria Stella C @RT75189278 5d Brilliant. Only a woman would understand. See more Maristella F @RT54333750 5d Well done film. Loved the plot twist. Enjoyed Rosamund Pike's character. Any man who has any intention of raping a woman should watch this. See more moon s @moon90 Feb 22 why does rosamund pike always get the same role in so many movies, another role of a woman scorned in some kind of way. made it predictable, film is ok, worth a watch at least once i suppose to past the time, but it doesnt even show you what she did to her victims body you have to google it to find out. did she really have to kill the dog? i understand she was testing her plan on him but made it a little hard to make her a "likeable" character. See more Alan W @Al712 Dec 22 Good cast can’t make up for a weak storyline. Simply disappointing. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 10 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Read all reviews
