🎬 MovieFinder's Take

"Найти Форрестера" (2000) tells its story without decoration: humanity here is weakness and strength at once.

If you want cinema that leaves a mark — not entertains, but reaches — this is it.

For viewers for whom it matters that something stays after the credits.

Director: Gus Van Sant
