Skip it. 'The Forgiven' sounds like a well-intentioned exploration of cultural collision, but it lands as heavy-handed drama that mistakes earnestness for insight—the kind of film that lectures you about moral complexity rather than letting you feel it. Unless you're specifically hunting for prestige-adjacent material about Western guilt, your night will be better spent elsewhere.
Plot
Over a weekend in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, a random accident reverberates through the lives of both the local Muslims and Western visitors to a house party in a grand villa.
Director: John Michael McDonagh
Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Jessica Chastain, Matt Smith, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbey Lee
