The Gift (2015)

"Where The Gift toys with our expectations is in its refusal to align itself with any one character or to manufacture obvious heroes and villains."

"Will have you triple-locking the doors and rushing to pull the curtains."

"A merciless critique of an amoral corporate culture in which the ends justify the means, and lying and cheating are O.K., as long as they're not found out."

"The debutant director applies himself with the same quiet assurance and attention to detail he’s displayed in his acting projects."

"Edgerton's talent as an actor has been evident for a while, but The Gift announces him as a genuine triple threat."

"A disturbing drama that twists its outsider-from-hell story into something more unique and unexpected than its marketing campaign might imply."

"Joel Edgerton’s feature-length directorial debut is a pleasant — or pleasantly unpleasant — surprise..."

"There's nothing overtly flashy about Edgerton's direction, but he crafts some nerve-jolting scares."

"This resourceful and edgy thriller marks another string in the talented Edgerton's bow."
