3.5/5
Stylish, sharp and rocking an infectious energy, Sender is intoxicating. A truly singular exploration of addiction, paranoia and the all-too-real vulnerability tethered to our reliance on e-commerce. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Mar 19
The problem is that too many of Goldman’s choices as a director seem to actively be working against what Britt Lower brings to his interesting script Go to Full Review Alejandra Martinez Austin Chronicle Mar 18
A harrowing film that understands the messiness and the terrifying nature of recovery from addiction. Perhaps the messiness is the point, even if it left me feeling a little empty. Go to Full Review Julian Singleton Cinapse 1d
While the film’s provocative explorations of addiction and hyper-consumerism may occasionally feel lost in transit, Sender delivers as a fascinating debut for Goldman and a showcase for Lower’s abrasively commanding performance. Go to Full Review Matthew Monagle Certified Forgotten 2d
3/5
The most haunting aspect of Sender is how mundane its mystery is. Go to Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore 2d
4/5
