The Forgiven - Kritiken

...never less than curiously compelling...

Wonderful film noir feels like something straight out of the 1940s.

The movie's excellent cast is led by Fiennes...

McDonagh’s film is well-crafted throughout...

...director McDonagh treats his ensemble — and it’s an impressively cast one, including Matt Smith and Caleb Landry Jones as the oddly well-matched dandy hosts — like insects under a magnifying glass.

McDonagh certainly has the courage of his convictions; he arrives at an ending that refuses to settle for soft, squishy lessons.

...a tense culture clash.

De vackra miljöerna gör definitivt avtryck på näthinnan, men framför allt efterlämnar filmen en hel del om vår värld att begrunda.
