Movie Review: What Remains

Nathan Scoggins’ latest film, What Remains, explores grief, forgiveness, and the complex ties that bind families and communities. The narrative centers on Marshall Shepherd, portrayed with heartrending depth by Cress Williams, a man still reeling from the loss of his wife five years ago.

His decision to forgive Troy (Kellan Lutz), the man responsible for her death, has not only isolated him from his son, Samuel (Marcus Gladney Jr.), but also from the wider community.

The plot thickens when Troy, recently released from prison, returns to town. Against all odds, he and Marshall forge an unexpected friendship, adding layers of tension and emotional nuance to the story.

Samuel’s seething anger towards Troy and his father’s forgiveness is palpable, creating a volatile atmosphere ripe for confrontation and potential reconciliation.

Anne Heche delivers a poignant performance, her character’s presence a ghostly reminder of the past, while Stelio Savante, as the town Sheriff, brings a sense of gritty determination to the investigation of a new murder that may be tied to the turbulent events surrounding Troy’s return.

Scoggins masterfully weaves a tale that is as much about the scars left by tragedy as it is about the human capacity for redemption and connection. The film’s pacing allows for deep character development, and the performances elevate the already compelling script.

What Remains is not just a story of loss but a meditation on the power of forgiveness and the strength it takes to rebuild shattered relationships. It’s a powerful, thought-provoking piece that will linger in viewers’ minds long after the credits roll.
