The Forgotten

DramaHorrorMysterySci-FiThriller91 min

Julianne Moore is Telly Paretta, a mother still shattered by the death of her 9-year-old son in a plane crash when the people around her begin insisting he never existed. Her husband denies they ever had a child, and Gary Sinise’s psychiatrist tells her she has invented nine years of memories. With every photograph, record, and trace of her son suddenly gone, Telly tracks down another parent who remembers a similar loss and starts searching for proof that both her child and her own sanity are being erased.
