The 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. - 40
Village Voice
Even with the dramatic buildup, Mikati hesitates to make Return to Sender an all-out revenge fantasy, and the characters are too sketchy for an effective psychological thriller. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Fouad Mikati's tawdry psychological thriller features the talented actress in a film that bears no small resemblance in theme, if not quality, to the hit movie version of Gillian Flynn's best-seller. - 30
Los Angeles Times
Revenge is a dish served lumpy and tasteless in the tonally muddled Return to Sender. - 30
Variety
A queasy but strangely gutless exploitation pic. - 25
Slant Magazine
The kind of wholly misconceived thriller that begs asking precisely what its filmmakers were seeking to accomplish. - 20
New York Daily News
Pike phones in a reprise of her Oscar-nominated “Gone Girl” performance, complete with brittle perfection and a loose screw. Fernandez can’t decide whether his rapist is a menacing thug or a sexy innocent. And as Miranda’s father, a bearded, hatted, suspendered Nick Nolte seems to have wandered in from the set of “Witness 2: Amish and Loving It.” - 16
The Playlist
Return to Sender proves to be nothing but dead air, an entirely too predictable, slow-paced, and misguided genre effort.
