'' Return '' was the sole U.S. film selected for the 25-film 2011 Cannes Film Festival Directors ' Fortnight . Following its premiere at the festival , '' The Boston Globe '' reviewer Wesley Morris wrote , " I like Johnson 's delicacy and discretion . She trusts Cardellini 's natural , easygoing performance to show us what goes untold . The movie is modest , too , and its small emotional scale works . Without asking for pity or outrage , it 's another movie about the unaccountable , unending drain of war . " It holds an 84 % rating , with an average rating of 6.5 / 10 on review site Rotten Tomatoes , based on 37 reviews
