Sandra Bullock does it again. Fantastic job!! One of the best movies to come out in a long time.
It’s possible for cinema to weave this many themes and concerns together into one cohesive film. The Unforgivable simply doesn’t.
The screenplay, adapted by Peter Craig, Hillary Seitz and Courtenay Miles from a British mini-series, gifts Bullock a few big screaming scenes but mostly has her slouching around silently while it dithers over whether or not to root for Ruth to rebuild her life.
The Unforgivable is devoid of all textures and emotions that don’t readily affirm the film’s rigid worldview of redemption.
