Leave your thoughts about Unforgivable.
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerAmong other things, Unforgivable is a free-floating meditation on the distresses and exhilarations of being a parent. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonTechine lavishes upon us not just scenery and characters but complications and emotional turmoil in pursuit of subtlety. If this seems perverse, it most certainly is. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlBouquet and the waterways of Venice are the chief charms of Téchiné's movie, which is otherwise one of his less convincing efforts. |
| PopMattersChris Barsanti...a roundelay of obstinacy and desire, where lives are lived on their own terms, fiercely. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonWhat isn't very good is the meandering story that has so many points to make that it makes none. Luckily, there is a romantic ending, but how could there not be - it's set in Venice, after all. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordIn "Unforgivable," Téchiné keeps throwing out teasing ideas, but he never makes good on any of them. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniAn exquisitely crafted, brilliant, confusing, disordered, maddening, and wonderfully flawed film that tries to show life as it is lived. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranTéchiné is a restless director, a fastidious storyteller who is not interested in what less adventurous movies have to say about human relationships. He wants to dig deeper, even if the results aren't always clear. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumIn his elliptical and somewhat loopy drama about the slipperiness of love at any age, French filmmaker André Téchiné uses the sight of scudding motorboats on the waterways around workaday Venice as a visual reinforcement of time as a river. |
| New YorkerDavid DenbyThe movie is intriguing and racy, but not always convincing. |
