Full Plot Details

A youth named Jonas lives in an equalized, literally colorless, but pleasant society with no knowledge of love or pain and such. When he and his best friends Asher and Fiona come of age, they receive their societal roles, with Jonas given the rare position of Receiver (of Memories). Because of this, he meets a mentoring elder Receiver (later called The Giver). They look at memories of the past world, of joy, of pain, and of love. As Jonas receives these memories, he breaks the cardinal rule against sharing them with others, thereby getting in trouble with the watchful Chief Elder. When Jonas discovers that an infant boy named Gabriel will be terminated, his efforts to save the child puts him squarely against his society. Deciding that all must re-learn to see color, to feel pain, and to show and receive love, Jonas becomes public enemy number one.

Movie Reviews

Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) - 9/10 by Linda CookYou purists out there will have to decide for yourselves whether you want to see this adaptation of the Lois Lowry classic that's often read and discussed in middle schools
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerThe trouble with pet projects is that too often they are unduly do-goody, and so it is here.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Nikola GrozdanovicSo the story is relentlessly rudimentary and it’s directed in an expected, uncomplicated, formulaic manner.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by John DeForeA lazy ending mars this fine, if generic, take on a much-loved YA novel.
Cinemalogue.com - 8/10 by Todd Jorgenson... muddled and heavy-handed, and not as powerful as intended, but at least it's intellectually ambitious, both for newcomers to the material and for its legions of fans who will crave for the launching of another franchise.
Daily Record (UK) - 8/10 by David EdwardsYoung adults impatient for the next instalment of The Hunger Games will find plenty to enjoy in this thriller based on the Lois Lowry novel.
Sky Cinema - 8/10 by Tim EvansPerhaps too slow for audiences used to the cut and thrust of Katniss Everdeen, this nevertheless quietely makes its mark.
amNewYork - 8/10 by Robert LevinIt's special because it focuses on the interior lives of its characters.
ABC Radio Brisbane - 8/10 by Matthew ToomeyWhile I didn't mind the set-up, The Giver stumbles to the finish line by offering us a rushed, predictable finale.
Salt Lake Tribune - 8/10 by Sean P. MeansA solid thriller brimming with interesting ideas -- and only feels derivative because other titles have gotten to the screen first.
