“The Unforgivable” (*** out of four) was a harrowing melodrama about a woman (Sandra Bullock) released from prison after decades for a murder and tries to put the pieces of her life back together but finds this is hard as society will simply not allow her to move on as she encounters difficulties with jobs, housing, etc. A powerful story of a woman trying to put her life back together and the resistance she encounters; Bullock is strong in a role definitely against type. Unfortunately, story loses some of its potency by throwing in some unconvincing story elements and characters and going on too long but is still definitely worthwhile.
