3.5/5
Stylish, sharp and rocking an infectious energy, Sender is intoxicating. A truly singular exploration of addiction, paranoia and the all-too-real vulnerability tethered to our reliance on e-commerce. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Mar 19
The problem is that too many of Goldman’s choices as a director seem to actively be working against what Britt Lower brings to his interesting script Go to Full Review Alejandra Martinez Austin Chronicle Mar 18
A harrowing film that understands the messiness and the terrifying nature of recovery from addiction. Perhaps the messiness is the point, even if it left me feeling a little empty. Go to Full Review Liz Braun AWFJ.org 2d
Anxiety. Claustrophobia. Dread. Paranoia — and it's weirdly comical. Sender has all the good stuff. Go to Full Review Nicolás Delgadillo Knotfest Jul 6
Stylish, paranoid, and powered by an emotionally raw Britt Lower performance alongside astonishing cinematography and editing, Sender delivers one of the year's most memorable psychological thrillers. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Jul 2
2.5/4
Despite the material’s potential resonance, Goldman’s style is overpowering. Still, his kernel of an idea and the way he explores it demonstrate his clear skill, and for much of Sender, its sheer oddball energy earns admiration. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
