Forgive And Forget: Review

starstarstarstar
Made for Scottish television and borrowing heavily (mainly cliches) from various coming out stories, this drama follows hunky boy-next-door David (Steven John Shepherd) into a spiraling despair over his love for his best mate, Theo (John Simm). Theo is newly in love with Hannah (Laura Fraser), a privileged art student who’s nursing a whining, broken heart while sorting out lingering trust issues from a prior relationship. Hannah mistakes David’s brooding nature for repressed rage, and uses it to drive a wedge between the best mates as David takes advantage of her insecurities, exploiting every opportunity to undermine the lovers' new happiness. If that isn't enough ho-hum angst, throw in a generic television talk show; and some unintentionally ridiculous scenes of betrayal and homoeroticism that are so mechanical, they border on being laughable, moronic and homophobic. Despite the reality-challenged script, director Aisling Walsh delivers decent performances from the cast, especially Shepherd, Simm and Fraser as the unlikely three-way. Look out for Stephen Graham (2000's SNATCH) who’s quite an eyeful as a frisky construction worker. leave a comment --Troy Lambert
