What is The Unforgivable about?

On Dec. 10, a new Sandra Bullock film will be coming to Netflix called The Unforgivable, and fans of Bullock are ecstatic to lay their eyes on this new drama movie. I think this upcoming Netflix movie might have a good chance at being the best drama of 2021.

The Unforgivable recently had its limited theatre release on Nov. 24, and critics wasted no time in giving this movie a bad rating. However, you can’t always base a film’s quality on critic reviews. You might just miss out on a good movie. So, I think it’s best you give The Unforgivable a chance and watch it for yourself when it drops on Netflix on Dec. 10. You be the judge on whether this film is a flop or not.

To gear up for The Unforgivable‘s release, we’re going to share with you what this drama film is about right below.

The Unforgivable synopsis

This upcoming Netflix movie is about a woman named Ruth Slater (Sandra Bullock) who is released from prison after serving a 20-year sentence for committing a violent crime. Once she reenters society, she quickly finds out that people haven’t forgotten what she’s done.

However, this doesn’t stop her from trying to resume her life and find her long-lost sister. While some people only give mean stares towards Ruth, others plan revenge.

See the official synopsis via Netflix below:

"Released from prison after serving a sentence for a violent crime, Ruth Slater (Bullock) re-enters a society that refuses to forgive her past.
