The Gift

 

"****1/2 Superb! Cate Blanchett shines in a psychic thriller!" - Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
"Two Thumbs Up!" - Ebert & Roeper And The Movies
"**** A must-see! Cate Blanchett and Hilary Swank are extraordinary!" - Lou Lumenick (The New York Post)
"A sexy, twist-a-minute thriller!" - Peter Travers (Rolling Stone)
"Extraordinary! A smart nuanced thriller!" - Joe Morgenstern (The Wall Street Journal)

Oscar®-nominee* and Golden Globe Winner** Cate Blanchett leads an incredible all-star cast including Academy Award®-winner*** Hilary Swank (Boys Don't Cry), Keanu Reeves (The Matrix), Katie Holmes (Wonder Boys), Giovanni Ribisi (Saving Private Ryan), and Oscar®-nominee**** Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets) in this stylishly filmed mystery that's as eerie as a backwoods swamp with a dark secret beneath its even darker surface.
Widow and mother of three, Annie Wilson (Blanchett), makes her living by foretelling others' futures... though her own has become cloudier than even she can see. Threatened by a client's violently jealous husband (Reeves) and plagued by visions of a missing towns-girl (Holmes), Annie is unwittingly pulled into a thicket of lies and deception in which her extraordinary gift could be used against her... and get her killed.
Written by Billy Bob Thornton (Sling Blade) and Tom Epperson (A Family Thing), and directed by Sam Raimi (A Simple Plan), The Gift is a gripping tale of supernatural intrigue... and chilling terror.
