Rachel McAdams Delivers Survival-Driven Comedy in Send Help

Vulture critic Alison Willmore praises Rachel McAdams’ performance in Send Help, highlighting her sharp physical comedy and survival prowess as Linda Liddle while noting the film’s ambitious reversal of office hierarchies on a deserted island. However, the review argues the movie falters by not fully committing to a more uncomfortable, equal power dynamic—Linda’s ascent is compelling but not grotesque enough to challenge Bradley’s domination, leaving the film wary of truly unsettling gender dynamics.
