Return to Sender Reviews:
.. a slow-burn female payback thriller in the tradition of Siegel's ‘Beguiled’ and Miike's masterful ‘Audition’ … definitely deserved better than being summarily shipped to Vido-on-Demand Land. – Glenn Lovell
You can probably guess the twist from the trailer, but that doesn't detract from Pike's performance. In fact, with the suspense hobbled, the ball is entirely in her court. She plays it beautifully. – Daily Star
