The Forgiven (2022)
The Forgiven takes place over a weekend in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and explores the reverberations of a random accident on the lives of both the local Muslims and Western visitors to a house party in a grand villa.
Critic Reviews:
- " John Michael McDonagh’s acerbic tragedy of manners and morals sees West meets East in a literal car crash of sloppy behaviour and messy intentions. " – Nick Hasted (The Arts Desk)
- " Sees Fiennes deliver one of his finest performances… " – Josh Saunders (The Sun, UK)
- " McDonagh has crafted a complex tale of crime, punishment and guilt, much in the manner of his earlier work. Here, the morality is as shifting as sand, and just as uncomfortable when it gets inside your clothes. " – Leslie Felperin (Financial Times)
