Description

"True to its name, the film puts the concept of forgiveness on display and asks us to spend some time in front of it and consider it from all angles."—Ross McIndoe, Slant Magazine

"This is a powerful film about the limits of forgiveness, and the ways religion is often misused as a tool for total redemption, no matter the sin."—Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com

"Art comes to the rescue, as Exhibiting Forgiveness lends its healing hand on everyone, on and off the screen."—Tomris Laffly, Harper's Bazaar


Tarrell (André Holland) is an admired American painter who lives with his wife, singer Aisha (Andra Day), and their young son, Jermaine. Tarrell’s artwork excavates beauty from the anguish of his youth, keeping past wounds at bay. His path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, La’Ron (John Earl Jelks), a conscience-stricken man desperate to reconcile. Tarrell’s mother, Joyce (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) a pious woman with a profound and joyful spirituality, hopes that Tarrell can open his heart to forgiveness, giving them all another chance at being a family. Tarrell and La’Ron learn that forgetting might be a greater challenge than forgiving in this raw and deeply moving film.
