The Good Nurse does suffer a bit when it pivots towards a character-driven drama... However, as a procedural, it is an engaging film that tackles the complex themes of medical negligence and bureaucratic cover-ups.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2024

A chilling character study of a killer

The Good Nurse is an Achingly Dull Foray into Medical Malpractice

| Nov 2, 2023

It barely scratches the surface and leaves a less resounding solution to figure out what is wrong with everything. It’s a political thriller, but it barely leaves a mark that leaves a profound impact on the faults of the system.

This is kinda of a typical true crime movie than that Netflix churns out, but what makes it better is the performances of these two Oscar winners, Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. They really elevate the material.

Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10 | Aug 10, 2023

The heart of the film comes from the strong work of both Chastain and Redmayne, who seem to be at the top of their game with their attempts to tell a true story with compassion and care for the real victims of Cullen's killing spree.

While "The Good Nurse" can be uneven, it's not without deeply effective moments.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 16, 2023

flips the serial-killer narrative on its head, making it all the more enigmatic in refusing to offer up pat assessments or easy explanations

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 27, 2023

It seems to want to be both salacious true crime and thought-provoking medical drama, but it doesn't quite commit to either, leaving "The Good Nurse" a muddled derivative of many other more engaging murder stories.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 3, 2023

The Good Nurse is suffused in shades of tedious grey. Its visual language too indistinct and colourless to register as little more than a play by play of events, rather than a film that is astute about the dynamics of its crimes.

| Jan 30, 2023

The film's deliberately paced editing and eerie score successfully capture the essence of feeling unsettled.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 28, 2023

It is the...journey that Amy and the audience travel towards...the truth about Charlie that make The Good Nurse a riveting watch, greatly aided by two mammoth performances at its center that make the entire upsetting experience well worth it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 12, 2023

A slow-build approach has nowhere in particular to go... In practice, it badly needs a shot of adrenaline.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 9, 2023

The Good Nurse suffers from a few setbacks...the first act’s pacing, a longer-than-needed run time, and an unconvincing performance from Chastain. Redmayne delivers an unsettlingly charming performance...if you can hang in, the ending is pretty decent.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jan 4, 2023

The Good Nurse this a very good drama thriller based on a true story. Oscar Winners Chastain and Redayne are unstoppable in this, they individually deliver great emotional performance & yet at the epicenter is their chemistry together in very harsh story

| Original Score: 9/10 | Dec 27, 2022

A pretty solid true life drama that I believe works as well as it does because [the filmmakers don't] try and turn Charles Graeber's non-fiction novel into a thriller.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 23, 2022

Because Eddie Redmayne is so good at hiding emotions, he could be under the lights of an operating room and still get buy-in. When his past is revealed, the change is better than any since Norman Bates’ in “Psycho.”

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 20, 2022

A sobering thriller that’s ostensibly about a serial killer, but more concerned about the healthcare system that allowed him to operate for 15 years before he was finally brought to justice.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 19, 2022

Frustrating Netflix true crime-drama that never delves deep enough. Odd - since Netflix released a documentary about the same serial killer, Charles Cullen, two weeks later.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 1, 2022

The Good Nurse does present a relatively accurate portrait of one of the most prolific serial killers in recent American history.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 30, 2022
