The Forgiven (III) (2021)
2/10
Ultimately quite an unpleasant film.
21 July 2022
So the film starts out all moody and serious like an art house western.

And then well it just proceeds into a long story about a group of extremely pretensious and shallow people who all think they are deep but clearly are not. And then they all continue to be pretty nasty to each other. The story makes a good effort to protray these people as likeable, but really they are just all pretty nasty.

Like why would you want to make a film about all these nasty pretensious people? And occassionally they try to say deep stuff, but it's all pretensious drivle.

And the only good guy in the whole story just has an awful time. What a depressing view of life. And your waiting for some kind of moral pay off to the whole sordid affair, but ultimately there isn't one.

Over all a fairly unpleasant and nihilistic film.

Take my advice and give it a miss.
