The Forgiven

Brits Ralph Fiennes and Matt Smith are joined by Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain and an international ensemble for this murky moral thriller from British filmmaker John Michael McDonagh. Seething with tension, hedonism and satire, it’s the kind of intellectual grown-up drama you could be forgiven for thinking they don’t make anymore.
