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 depicts beauty from the anguish of his youth. His path to success is derailed by an unexpected visit from his estranged father, La’Ron (John Earl Jelks), a man desperate to reconcile. Tarrell’s mother, Joyce (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) a woman with a profound 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 deeply moving film.

“As an artist grappling with the psychological damage done by his estranged father, Holland is a wonder of tightly contained hurt and anger. He’s got great scene partners in John Earl Jelks, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Andra Day.” — Vanity Fair

Exhibiting Forgiveness doesn’t flinch from showing how dysfunctional familial relationships wound and scar repeatedly. But the film itself isn’t cynical or bitter, illustrating how art holds the power to not only help us process and recover but transform” — San Jose Mercury News
