Clever and atmospheric, the film has enough twists to keep the average viewer guessing.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Officially, this is a blank-from-hell movie. But Edgerton has remixed the formula.

Wesley Morris, Grantland

The Gift starts out like so many other thrillers before it - with an attractive, well-to-do couple purchasing a big new house - and then beats its own, uniquely tense and twisted path from there.

Just when we think we know where The Gift is going, we're surprised. And then surprised again.

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

Edgerton not only wrote the movie but makes an impressive directorial debut with the ripe-for-discussion subject matter of bullying and its after-effects.

Jane Stevenson, Toronto Sun
