The crime drama The Forgiven, featuring stars like Matt Smith and Ralph Fiennes, is now available to stream in the UK. It’s a gripping story with plenty of surprises that viewers will enjoy.
The movie adapts Lawrence Osborne’s 2012 novel with the same title. It stars Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain as a married couple struggling with problems in their relationship, who travel to Morocco hoping to reconnect.
However, things take a dark turn when they unintentionally hit and kill a young boy. Panicked, they go to a friend’s house (played by Smith) hoping to use connections with the local police to cover it up, but they soon face consequences when the boy’s father begins seeking justice.
The crime drama, written and directed by John Michael McDonagh, is now available to watch for free online in the UK. You can stream it on Channel 4’s platform following its television debut on Sunday, July 26th.
This is a special, re-edited version of the film, and it’s actually 11 minutes shorter than the version you’d see in theaters. Because of this, it’s only available for a limited time and will be taken down on Sunday, August 2nd.

According to Observer, The Forgiven is a beautifully made and unique film that remains engaging even when its plot stretches believability. Meanwhile, The Spectator described the movie as both compelling and suspenseful.
According to The Financial Times, McDonagh’s latest film, like his previous ones, is a layered story about crime, consequences, and feeling responsible for your actions. The film explores a fluid sense of right and wrong, creating a similarly uneasy feeling for the viewer.
According to The New Statesman, The Forgiven is a stark and gripping film noir that doesn’t try to win you over with charm. The acting is excellent, especially from Ralph Fiennes, and the movie powerfully utilizes its dramatic settings – even the quiet moments within them.
