A complex performance by André Holland leads a fine cast that includes Andra Day, John Earl Jelks and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor into the realm of family dysfunction.
As an anguished artist and family man pushed to confront unresolved pain, the great André Holland moves through “Exhibiting Forgiveness” like someone who doesn’t just work with paint, but would just as soon submerge himself it, like an immersion chamber, if it kept his wounds from opening further.
The pivotal day of Tarrell’s trauma is threaded throughout the film in extended flashbacks, when a scared boy discovers the extremes of his drug-using dad’s toxic behavior, and we see how great Jelks is at believably embodying the harder, uglier version of the broken-but-unbowed man now trying to make amends. What makes the impasse especially affecting is how Jelks and Holland subtly evoke how alike yet different two closely connected men with brutal pasts can be.
