    • 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
      After the meeting between Emily and Ruth at the park bench, Emily is wearing white shoes. At the next shot where she's walking down the street (and being followed by Steve), her shoes swaps to black ones.

    Good story and acting
    Greetings from Lithuania.

    I liked "The Unforgivable" (2021) for its good story and good acting. It was a bit predictable yes, and a bit manipulative story, but at the end of the day this was a good movie.

    Sandra Bullock was very good in this film. I quickly believed to her character and started rooting for her. And like i said the story turned out to be not as original as maybe it was intended - at least for me personally, i did enjoy this movie.

    Overall, at running time almost 2 hours "The Unforgivable" was superbly paced - i wasn't bored for moment and good story, solid directing, writing, and very good acting by its lead kept me invested in this film till the very end.
