taking a hard look at loss and pain.

Lessons in forgetting is a hard look at loss and pain. director unni vijayan's debut is confident and the story is told in bold strokes, making the impact all the more heart rending. backed by the powerful performances of the leading cast, specially Adil, the story of a girl who is brutally victimized for being a free spirit and the hunt for the perpetrators of the crime becomes a journey of discovery...of looking our prejudices in the eye...of the futility of revenge...of closure. truly lessons in forgetting and if possible forgiving. The cinematography is alternately lingering and moody reflecting the protagonist's state of mind and gritty and harsh telling us of impending doom. Right at the outset we know the outcome but yet when the end comes its brutality shocks you..the senselessness and the randomness adding to the impact...building up an anger within which stays with you long after the film ends.
