 The Return (Vozvrashcheniye)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Return centers on the relationship of a father and his two sons, a recurrent theme in literature, drama and films, one so central to the human experience that each story told has the potential for new insight and variations on these fraught emotional connections.
In a telling scene, on the night of his return they sit down to family dinner together and the father immediately assumes a firmly dominant role--he gives the orders and others obey.
The boys, on the other hand, are torn between the desire to have a father in their lives and their distrust and fear of this virtual stranger who has so suddenly returned, exercising an authoritarian power over them to which they are unaccustomed.

 Playback St. Louis Reviews - The Return   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The driving force behind The Return is the father’s struggle to win respect from his two sons.
We are not sure what line of work he is in—though there are numerous suggestions that it may be of an under-the-table nature—but what is clear is that he has probably not been honing his fathering skills.
That is the ironclad rule of The Return, and the audience cannot escape it, thanks to one of the more punishing endings in memory.

 OFFOFFOFF film review THE RETURN (Vozvrashcheniye) Russian movie by Andrei Zvyagintsev with Vladimir Garin, Ivan ...
The Russian suspense story "The Return," about a father who reappears after 12 years away to take his suspicious sons on a mysterious trip, combines so many layers of intrigue that you don't mind how much is left unexplained.
"The Return" is kind of like a dinner guest who's so interesting that you're willing to invite him over even though you know he's going to show up without his pants on.
Still, as unresolved a thriller as "The Return" may be, it still works on many levels — as a drama, a mystery, a psychological portrait, even a beautifully filmed ode to life in a deeply picturesque part of the world.

 village voice > film > The Return by J. Hoberman
Winner of the same Venice Film Festival that gave a decidedly mixed reception to The Dreamers, Andrey Zvyagintsev's The Return is also suggestive of a lost era—the highly crafted allegorical Eastern European art films of the '60s and '70s.
The Return begins as a mysterious quest, shades into a discomfiting thriller, then a survival story, and finally a tragic parable.
Some may be put off by the movie's cool technique and boldly closed form, but it clearly announces Zvyagintsev as a director to watch.

 The Return Of Santiago by Mike Resnick
Unfortunately ‘The Return Of Santiago’ suffers from the same problem as the westerns it parodies, which is that its characters lack any real depth.
While the ending of ‘The Return Of Santiago’ seemed obvious after the first quarter of the book, there were several points where that ending was in doubt and the heroes seemed doomed.
Unfortunately, as in most westerns, the outcome of each showdown between gunslingers was obvious long before one fighter hit the dirt and I found that sense of inevitability robbed each scene of a great deal of suspense.
