Directed by Nora Fingscheidt, The Unforgivable follows Ruth Slater, played by Sandra Bullock, who just got out of prison for killing someone.
She re-enters society and tries to connect with your younger sister. Her only chance of redemption is the connection with her sister, who she was forced to leave behind.
Her sister’s adoptive mother, Viola Davis, wants nothing to do with Ruth. But, her husband, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, seems to feel she has redeeming qualities and goes against his wife’s wishes.
It’s based on the story of the Yorkshire award-winning drama Unforgiven, a mini-series about a young woman released from prison for murdering two police officers. Now, she wants to find her younger sister.
The Netflix movie also stars Jon Bernthal, Richard Thomas, Aisling Franciosi, and W. Earl Brown.
