Review of The Gift (2015) by Tjman09 — 22 Aug 2015
The Gift is a creepy psychological thriller that features great performances, and an ending that you won't see coming. As far as directorial debuts go this is one of the better ones in recent memory, and Joel Edgerton does a great job through acting and directing creating a terrifying tone for the film to settle in to.
The film features great performances by Joel Edgerton, Jason Bateman, and Rebecca Hall. The character development is very good, especially Jason Bateman's character, who you grow to hate, and coincidentally also sympathize for.
Not many directors can make you feel an array of emotion for a character, so kudos to Edgerton. In essence the film's tone helps terrify the audience with it's creepy stalker themes, and at the same time uses character development and storytelling to help prove a very important point, bullying is bad.
