Darragh H Saw this when it was first released. Enjoyable well acted thriller. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Ari I was listening to Patsy Cline and remembered this movie. I found it to be very intriguing and was thoroughly creeped out. I had to find the movie by looking up SMG, it's sad, scary and wraps up quite nicely. Honestly, if rotten tomatoes says it's bad it's probably good. It tugs at your heartstrings and makes you want to walk around with a knife at the same time. 16%? Really RT? Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Justin T The first part of this movie is moody and sparse on dialogue. Very little seems to be happy but I didn't care too much as it looked fantastic. The colours look subdued and gorgeous. The camera moves and shot choices are all stunning. The problem is that there isn't any story and not a lot of atmosphere. One bit made me jump but for the rest of the time I was unmoved. If you are looking for a similar outing to The Grudge (2004), like I was, then you will be a bit disappointed. Beautiful cinematography and palate cannot totally excuse a lack of content. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Audience Member There's some interesting mood and visuals going on here, but what a mess! A confusing poopy mess. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/20/20 Full Review Audience Member The Return touched me deeply and only a Russian can make such a poignant tale about relationships that everyone regardless of their background will relate to. Story here is about two brothers who are suddenly confronted by their father who had been absent in their lives since their birth. He takes them on an excursion into the wilderness and tries to teach them the ways of life the way he sees right. I was horrified to learn that the boy who played the elder son died in real life soon after the film was done with production. It makes this film more poignant. Please see this film if you get an opportunity.(Touching film from Russia). Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Francisco S With a dull script, but some scary jumpscares, The Return is a good example of a failed attempt of make a clever movie and instead that, it was made a cliched and unoriginal movie which brings out the worst of, once talented, Sarah gellar and a boring and over-exploited narrative in this genre.
