Film Review – The Unforgivable

Sandra Bullock doesn’t act much anymore. She’s been increasingly selective in her parts over the last decade, trying to find a new direction to her career with more serious roles, ready to inhabit darker characters in disturbing situations of survival. After dominating pop culture with 2018’s “Bird Box,” Bullock stays severe with “The Unforgivable, which is an adaptation of a 2009 British television series. The material gives the actress another opportunity to play a frayed person, this time exploring the days of a parolee trying to put a few parts of her ruined life back together, and Bullock does quite well in the film. She’s raw yet reserved, happy to give others showier amounts of screentime. It’s the story of “The Unforgivable” that’s a little out of tune, with director Nora Fingscheidt submitting to warped turns of plot, allowing the feature to become absurd when, for about 90 minutes, it does simply fine being as real as possible.
