Top critics, in their words
Rotten
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."
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Rotten
Pike phones in a reprise of her Oscar-nominated "Gone Girl" performance, complete with brittle perfection and a loose screw.
Katherine Pushkar, New York Daily News
Rotten
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.
Serena Donadoni, Village Voice
Rotten
Rosamund Pike deserves better than this queasy exploitation pic, which plays as a belated dry run for "Gone Girl."
Guy Lodge, Variety
