It may not be groundbreakingly original, but it sure is an entertaining ride for the duration of its running time."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B- "One of the best-acted films I've seen in a while."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "A solid thriller/drama with great performances that is effective while watching it."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B- "If you're willing to suspend disbelief for a couple of hours, you should find the result a real -- if rather guilty -- pleasure."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A suspenseful, involving story of a widow in a small town who uses her psychic abilities to provide a lifeline to several very troubled individuals."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "An example of how superior craftsmanship can transform a ho-hum genre entry into a sporadically gripping thriller."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 6/10 "The execution really goes through the motions, and all the standard thriller tricks are used."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "The Gift is like one of those old-fashioned, well made suspense thrillers that simply works because of those combined efforts from the cast and crew."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2/5 "piece of donkey dung"   ToxicUniverse.com   John A. Nesbit 4.5 "It's a good story with unexpected and even almost shocking plot twists, and a whole film of very, very good performances."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 7/10 "Like getting a Crackerjacks prize in a Tiffany box."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 9/10 "While the film overall is more concerned with mounting menace than edge-of-your-seat shocks, it delivers a couple of stunners."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2.5/4 "Raimi and his cast and crew deserve a praise for what they did give us. But in the end, The Gift isn't quite enough."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9/10 "Beautiful in its spareness and simplicity, it spins a chill-inducing tale from a seemingly mundane story."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "One of the strongest parts in question is the central performance of Cate Blanchett."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3/5 "In lesser hands, this film would have been pretty bad."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 2/5 "Um filme previsível tanto em relação à sua trama quanto aos seus aspectos técnicos."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 "Who would have thought Sam Raimi could have made a film in which the dead are harmless, even helpful?"   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B+ "Thoughtful and gripping without wallowing in dramatics, it marks another high point in Sam Raimi's strange, but increasingly accomplished film career."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B+ "This is one of the best films about the supernatural that has come out in recent years, along with "The Others," and "The Sixth Sense.'"   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 7/10 "A middling entry for Raimi that is, disappointingly, a conventional whodunit coupled with supernatural power."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "A well-told murder mystery."   Citysearch   Sean O'Connell 3/4 Read review   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2/4 Read review   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4/5 Read review   Movie Mom at Yahoo!
