About This Movie

Tom Hanks delivers a performance that’s both simple and profound, capturing Forrest’s innocence without crossing into caricature. The pacing sometimes meanders, mirroring Forrest's life, which might not work for everyone, but it certainly adds to that laid-back vibe. You'll find the soundtrack is a delightful journey through the decades, enhancing the nostalgia. It’s a film that doesn’t shy away from heavy themes, but it does so with a light touch, which makes revisiting it a different experience each time.
