What remains

Even as a Lifetime-esque soap, “What Remains” sputters, lacking any of the sensational twists to allow itself to sink into enjoyable pulp.

What Remains is an example of what can happen when filmmakers tackle tough issues head on.

This drama is often painfully slow, and it sometimes suffers from budgetary restraints, but its message of forgiveness comes through clearly and without heavy-handedness.

Glum and self-righteous, with little to offer beyond a homily.
