Open in HeraeAbout the film
The Gift is a 2000 American independent Southern Gothic supernatural thriller film directed by Sam Raimi and written by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson. Thornton and Epperson had written the screenplay for the film prior to the former's 1996 breakout success Sling Blade, with Thornton taking inspiration from his own mother's alleged psychic experiences. Set in the small Georgia town of Brixton, the film focuses on Annie Wilson (portrayed by Cate Blanchett), a widowed mother and clairvoyant who operates as a fortune teller in the rural community to several townsfolk including Buddy Cole (portrayed by Giovanni Ribisi), a mechanic struggling with his mental health due to abuse by his father, and Valerie Barksdale (portrayed by Hilary Swank), a woman in an abusive marriage with her hateful, violent redneck husband Donnie (portrayed by Keanu Reeves).

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens The Gift on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
