Trivia
This movie was originally announced in 2010. Producer Graham King very much wanted Angelina Jolie to play Ruth Slater, and hired Christopher McQuarrie to write a script tailored specifically for her. She never officially signed on, and over the next few years the movie went through various other writers and directors, including McQuarrie and Scott Frank, before stalling. It went back into development in 2019.

Goofs
When Katherine arrives on the stage, she puts down a backpack. During her final note, we get a back shot of the piano and the backpack is no where to be seen.

Why the negative reviews? Just enjoy this rollercoaster.

"The Unforgivable" is a story about moving forward, about learning to reassess judgments and misjudgements. Script and story are a remake of acclaimed three-part British miniseries "Unforgiving" from 2009. Produced by Sandra Bullock and music by Hans Zimmer. A cast to say WOW and a story that might be a remake but will never be boring. With fantastic acting from Vincent D'Onofrio (John Ingram), Rob Morgan (Vincent Cross), Sandra Bullock (Ruth), Viola Davis (Liz) and the always good Jon Bernthal (Blake). Jon Bernthal should have had more screen time but with a cast like this it would be difficult. The movie starts slow to have a very strong finish. The 112 minutes movie will be over before you know. And you will have loved everything, from the acting, the score / music by Hans Zimmer, the cinematography and the fact that you are watching a movie. A must see!
