Without social networks and absent from the cinema as an actress after Blind, Sandra Bullock returns as the protagonist of Unforgivable (The Unforgivable) in Netflix. In the film, the Oscar winner plays a convicted of murder who is released from prison. “Nobody is good at all and nobody is bad at all,” the actress told EFE. “Netflix is telling stories that would not see the light of day in theaters. And many times they are stories with women, stories from different cultures: stories that are not Marvel films, “adds the producer.
In the film, directed by the German Nora Fingscheidt, Ruth seeks to be reinstated by society. “He knows that no one sees it, he knows that it is dispensable, he knows that it does not exist. All he has are the memories of his little sister, whom he had to leave behind. She is everything he wants, but all society wants is to keep Ruth away from that little girl because of her actions. It is heartbreaking. Nora always said that she wanted to make sure that each character had two faces: the face that we look at and that we judge, and the other face that, when we turn and see it, we say ‘oh, I didn’t see that coming.’ This is real life ”.

But the return of the actress goes beyond the Netflix drama. He has pending the premiere of The Lost City, scheduled for March, in which he gives life to a lonely writer of romance novels lost in the middle of the jungle. Then the long-awaited Bullet Train, with Brad Pitt, will hit theaters. The story tells of the encounter of five murderers.
As a result of the premiere of Unforgivable, in El País de España they remember that, despite leading the Forbes list as the highest paid actresses, the golden statuette that won for best actress, remains one of the mysteries of Hollywood and the reason why “merits” are not recognized.

“The industry has not always recognized the merits of its most efficient and discreet star. Until his greatest moment of glory, the Oscar for the best actress harvested in 2010 is remembered today as one of the most unfair awards ever awarded in the history of the category. In A Possible Dream (The Blind Side), an autobiographical melodrama born to liven up after table naps, Bullock plays an upper-class mother who takes in a homeless young black man and helps him become a football star. . A film at least paternalistic considered as a clear example of the so-called ‘white savior complex’. In a display of honesty, she even went so far as to declare ‘that she did not feel worthy’ of the won statuette. ‘So I thought, I’m going to spend the rest of my life qualifying for it.’
The Spanish media cites the film critic Scott Mendelson, who points out that Bullock’s “daring” to lead projects of box office ambition to be released in traditional theaters “represents a before and after for an industry monopolized by the rise of streaming and millionaire franchises ”. Scott notes: “If the two films work, it could be the hope we need for cinema as we know it to survive.”
