Jason Bateman, Joel Edgerton, and Rebecca Hall star in a chilling psychological thriller that asks the question, "Can you really go through life having never wronged anyone?" Simon (Bateman) and Robyn (Hall) are a young married couple whose life is going as planned until a chance run-in with Simon's high school acquaintance sends their world into a tailspin. At first Simon doesn't recognize Gordo (Edgerton), but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to contemplate: how well do we really know those closest to us, and are bygones ever really bygones?

Reviews

Fresh

A chilling psychological thriller that leaves us with a genuinely unsettling ending.

Battleship Pretension

Rotten

Even more unfortunately, after having seemingly committed to a darker, more psychological and more character-focused direction, [it] returns to basic schlock in the overblown and credulity straining finale...

The Gift is a commendable, character-driven genre film and we look forward to more from Edgerton as actor and director.

[A] finely-tuned, multi-layered, creepy-as-all-get-out thriller...[with] a tension that builds and builds to one gut-punch of a finale.

It's so well put together, so expertly paced with pitch perfect tone and style that I was on the edge of my seat the entire way through.

Common Sense Says

New twist on familiar thriller setup has tension, swearing.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Gift is a thriller that offers a new twist on the frequently used "psychotic intruder" formula (The Boy Next Door, etc.). While there's plenty of tension, violence is limited to a brief fight, a slap, arguing, dead fish in a pond, and one quick jump-scare. Frequent strong language includes several uses of "f--k," "a--hole," "bitch," and "s--t." A husband and wife kiss and touch, and there are some brief sexual innuendoes/references. Characters drink fairly frequently, but always in social occasions (twice, it seems like people have had a bit too much). Reference is made to a character's former drug problems; she steals and takes a prescription pill from a neighbor. The movie addresses bullying and its long-term impact.
