Plus working with Ori, Kira and Scott Stubbier feels like the opportunity of a lifetime.” We are so damn excited that Netflix saw the value in our new approach and welcomed us aboard. “Gatins and I spent a lot of time talking about how it could be better - for both filmmakers and the studios. “The development system for films hasn’t been working for a long time,” Berloff said in a statement. Her other credits include “World Trade Center,” a drama about 9/11 that was directed by Oliver Stone,” and “Blood Father,” a crime thriller that was directed by Jean-Francois Richet.

The performances are great all around and Edgerton proves he's a gifted storyteller by keeping us invested in the characters and guessing about their past, present, and future throughout.Academy Award nominees Andrea Berloff and John Gatins have formed a creative partnership with Netflix to write feature films for the streaming service. To say any more would be to ruin some of the great twists and turns that The Gift has to offer. As their relationship with Gordo persists, sins of the past begin to capsize Simon and Robyn's seemingly idyllic life. Simon grew up near the area and, shortly after they arrive, he runs into Gordo (Edgerton), a kid he went to high school with. The setup is basic: Simon (Bateman) and Robyn (Hall) are a married couple who relocate to California for Simon's new job as a sales executive and for a fresh start following a traumatic event. Word of mouth helped the film to stay in theaters, and now. Starring Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, and Edgerton (who also writes and directs), The Gift is a slow burn that methodically consumes everything it touches. A 56 million opening weekend set the pace for a healthy run Straight Outta Compton grossed over 160 million over all, just in the US. I'm going to give it my best shot, however, because this is a dynamite feature debut that deserves to be seen and talked about.
Currently sitting at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and having already received a positive review on this site from Matt, there isn't a lot of praise that I can heap on the film that someone else hasn't already stated more eloquently. Now playing in theaters nationwide is Joel Edgerton's expertly crafted thriller The Gift.
