Joel Edgerton gives one of the year's strongest performances.
Michael Sragow, Orange County Register
Rotten
Wish You Were Here is an excellent idea for a State Department video, to remind travelers the obvious things not to do when visiting an unfamiliar country. As a drama, it feels a little empty.
Peter Hartlaub, Hearst Newspapers
Fresh
The mysteries unravel at a steady pace and the dialogue and acting feel naturalistic, adding up to a taut and progressively tangled portrait of familial relations.
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
Rotten
A dull drama about domestic squabbling that hopes to be mistaken for a thriller.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
