The Unforgivable Director Nora Fingscheidt on Working With Sandra Bullock

With The Unforgivable now streaming on Netflix, I recently got to speak with director Nora Fingscheidt’s about making the social drama. If you haven’t seen the trailer, Sandra Bullock plays someone just released from prison after committing a violent crime. As she tried to re-enter a society that refuses to forgive her past, her sole focus is finding the younger sister she lost touch with. The Unforgivable also stars Rob Morgan, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Richard Thomas, Linda Emond, Aisling Franciosi, Emma Nelson, Will Pullen, Thomas Guiry and Viola Davis. The film was written by Peter Craig (The Town, Bad Boys for Life), Hillary Seitz (Insomnia), and Courtenay Miles (Mindhunter).
