The Return is a very interesting film in that it is so close to being so many things it is not. What I mean by that is, the film seems as if at any moment it could turn into something entirely different. As a viewer I was left feeling slightly on edge or rather nervous for most of the film wondering if it was going to take a turn for the good, bad, violent, paranormal, etc.. There was a strange aura about the film, the thought that something unexpected was likely to happen. I felt as if at any moment the father and sons could have a break through and become close or they could murder each other. This is what gives it its psychological thriller genre. After watching the film once it would be interesting to go back and watch it again analyzing the interactions between father and sons knowing what happened in the end. Do the interactions seem more earnest or hostile?
