Review of Return to Sender (2015) by Maria B — 22 Dec 2016
I think this movie does exactly what art suppose to do, that is, push the boundaries of morality and what feels comfortable to watch or even ponder about... The storyline presents us with a story of a woman with rather serious issues on the spectrum of psychopathy, we actually don't know how far back they go and what are the reasons for it, the male character is rather 'troubled' as well.
The father figure represents the common society that neither of the two other characters fit in to (that can be observed through constantly awkward interactions of these two with the external world) on a very deep intimate level.
The movie lefts you wonder how this story could progress if there was no character of the father dictating what is 'right and wrong', the fact is, our society does not deal with issues of these sort, but avoids them.
I think it was a challenging piece, intense to watch, confusing, messed up, but emotionally and intellectually engaging.
