You need a neat, happy ending. The Sinner leaves scars. It’s less about justice and more about the messy, painful process of confronting who we really are when the polite mask of society slips off.
We all love a good murder mystery. The thrill of the clue, the red herring, the satisfying snap of handcuffs in the final scene. But what happens when the mystery isn’t who did it, but why ?
Detective Harry Ambrose (the incomparable Bill Pullman) isn't interested in locking her up and throwing away the key. He sees a haunted shell of a woman and becomes obsessed with digging into her past. Not her criminal record—her psychological record.
