Eric Bana
Aaron Falk returns to his drought-stricken hometown to attend a tragic funeral, but it opens a decades-old wound – the unsolved death of a teenage girl.
The Dry has just enough mystery and intrigue lingering at every begrimed frame to keep the audiences invested.
With potent acting by Whitaker and Bana, relevant social commentary, adept writing and direction, The Forgiven succeeds as a biopic, albeit not Joffé’s finest effort.
