Forget and Forgive (2014 TV Movie)
5/10
Good premise and play goes stale after a while
21 February 2016
Caught this Canadian thriller "Forget and forgive" on TV because I liked the premise. And the film manages to keep your interest for quite a long time. Still there's a strange thing: If the perpetrators really were afraid that she still remembers, why are they doing what they are doing? Well, more can't be said about this, without making a spoiler.

Good acting performances all over, I would say. Elizabeth Rohm does this difficult role well. It was quite fun to see that she was really not a good mother before she got amnesia from a beating and left for dead. Afterwards she gets to now that her decisions back then was something she wouldn't agree with now after the amnesia.

Amnesia is very difficult, and for us to comprehend even more difficult. As such this is an interesting topic on film. What annoys here is the lack of understanding around her, but I buy that the situation before the amnesia, which wasn't the best.

An OK film, which is good, until it goes a bit stale, and ends up as a 5/10.
