What to Know

Critics Consensus

A ridiculous revenge story set to never deliver, this narratively inert would-be thriller will leave most viewers wishing they could Return to Sender.

[It] seems to exist only to answer the unasked question "What would "I Spit on Your Grave" have been like if the main character had been Martha Stewart?" Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Aug 13, 2015
Mikati never settles on whether he's steering an identity crisis drama or an exploitative vengeance fantasy. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times Aug 13, 2015
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." Go to Full Review

Return to Sender, starring Rosamund Pike, isn't quite what it seems... Go to Full Review

Despite its occasional missteps, this hybrid of Gone Girl and Misery is bizarrely compelling. Go to Full Review

Even Rosamund Pike is recycling her performance, and she knows it; it's simply a Gone Girl rip off that will lose even the most forgiving viewer in the third act. Go to Full Review

Harry G Sep 16, 2018 Why did I watch this..made no sense and was really boring from time to time..
Ron R Aug 12, 2018 Very predictable, but still enjoyable. Good actors.
Albus W Jan 3, 2018 People talk of triggers. This had it in spades. This is an updated version of the play "Extremeties". It may have been a dumb idea to some, but I like that she took revenge and empowered herself in the end. Very predictable, but some satisfaction. See more
George R Sep 28, 2017 Loved loved loved. Rosamund Pike is spot on. These types of roles were made for her.
Hagrid L Jul 11, 2017 No plot movie with Rosamund Pike starring in yet another controversial film after sleeper hit "Gone Girl". She stars as a certified nurse, Miranda Wells finding it hard to adjust to normality after she's brutally assaulted. She would then find some solace by contacting her attacker, William Finn (Shiloh Fernandez) by sending him letters while in serving his assault sentence in prison-hence the title "Return To Sender". What happens next is a series of events which has some remnants of Takeshi Miike's "Audition". See more
Hagrid S Feb 7, 2017 The concept for this film is a little bazaar. All the acting outside of Pike's character is pretty bad. The film is even boring at times and has some unnecessary and unexplained elements. See more
