The Gift (2015)



A movie that lives true to the words “psychological thriller”.  The Gift written and directed by Joel Edgerton will keep you interested throughout.
IMDB: 7.1/10
Rotten Tomatoes: 93%
Running  Time: 108 minutes

Plot: 9/10
 Although the plot starts like most other movie a good looking, loving couple buying new house in a new place and then they meet a guy who’s more than friendly, which changes their life. But don’t be fooled by the starting coz it won’t proceed like any other movie you would’ve seen and the way the story turns out in the end will just blow your mind. The direction is amazing as the debutant director keeps you guessing not only what’s about to happen next but also about the main characters of the movie and who they really are. I want to say so much more but I’m scared I’ll end up giving out spoilers.

Acting: 8/10
Rebecca Hall, Joel Edgerton, Jason Bateman are all top notch in the movie making it very difficult to judge who did the best job. Whatever it is that the story demands the three will have you convinced that’s who they are and just when you feel sure about them, they’ll re-convince you.

Best Lines
Simon: Back then, everybody had a name, I was Simple Simon.
Robyn: Kids, kids are mean.
Simon: Kids are honest.
