Review of The Forgotten (2004) by Alexandra W — 19 Aug 2011
As someone who loves Julianne Moore, I don't know how I missed this one.
This film tells the tale of a mother(Julianne Moore) who loses her son and is struggling to put the pieces together as to how it happened. It is believed to be due to an airplane crash, but things don't quite seem to fit. No one knows what she's talking about including her husband(Anthony Edwards) and her therapist(Gary Sinise), so the psycholoical bounds are tested in the loss of a loved one. She is told again and again that her active imagination is making her believe she had a son that she feels to be an inherent part of her being.
As events unfold, the so called truth of her son's existence becomes existent yet non-existent depending on how it is viewed. There inlays the intrigue that's either simply a figment of imagination or of a conspiracy of unknown proportions.
