A grieving woman must make a journey into her past in this
psychological thriller.
Telly Paretta (
Julianne Moore) is a mother who is struggling to put her life back together after the unexpected death of her eight-year-old son.
Telly begins seeing a therapist (
Gary Sinise) who offers a startling diagnosis -- that her son never really existed, and all her memories of the child are products of her imagination. When
Telly meets a man with a strangely similar story to tell about his lost child (
Dominic West), she becomes convinced that her doctor is wrong, and sets out to prove the existence of her child -- and that she isn't insane.
The Forgotten also features
Alfre Woodard and
Anthony Edwards. An alternate ending exists to this film, which has been released on DVD and purportedly does a great deal to compensate for the story's weaknesses.
