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

Chastain... gives such a compelling and deeply human performance, so effortlessly charismatic, that you wish she had been the center of a completely different movie.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 13, 2022

A thriller that—for better and, too often, for worse—plays like a stifled scream.

| Nov 8, 2022

I never felt a sense of outrage. It was told a little too dispassionately.

| Nov 4, 2022

It’s watchable the way a long magazine article on the subject is readable: Creepy but oddly leached of drama.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 29, 2022

The Good Nurse feels more like a European art movie than an American political thriller... It’s a shocking story, built around two superb performances from two Oscar-winning stars.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 28, 2022

“The Good Nurse” offers no assurances that its danger is safely locked away. In the judgment of the film, Cullen is just a side effect of an institutional cancer.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 27, 2022

“The Good Nurse” is at its best as a medical police procedural. It helps that Noah Emmerich and Nnamdi Asomugha, playing the cops, give solid, understated performances.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 27, 2022

Ms. Chastain infuses Amy with so much moment-to-moment subtle naturalism that I forgot I was watching an actress at work and really believed I was in the company of an actual overworked, underpaid nurse.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 27, 2022

Lindholm’s stealthy restraint fits the material like a glove, and both get under your skin.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 27, 2022

The movie doesn’t insult our intelligence or cheapen the gravity by dragging out the question of his guilt. But that leaves dramatic space to fill.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 27, 2022

There's no interrogation of Cullen's psyche or what would lead him to carry out his acts, and as the tension is instead shifted toward Amy's cooperation with the cops, the drama flatlines.

| Original Score: D+ | Oct 26, 2022

Lindholm takes what could easily have been a 온라인카지노추천 movie of the week thriller and elevates it to an involving drama by keeping the danger spiky.

| Oct 26, 2022

As fascinating as they can be to watch, neither Eddie Redmayne nor Jessica Chastain ever has what we usually call chemistry with their co-stars... But isolated brilliance is precisely what helps The Good Nurse shine.

| Oct 26, 2022

In focusing the story on this “good nurse,” director Tobias Lindholm and screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns... make a powerful argument for telling such stories not via the killers themselves but via those who bravely confronted them.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 26, 2022

This pass-the-buck conspiracy, similar to the crimes exposed in the film Spotlight, really angers up the blood... Chastain is in typically fine form as the single mother of two who must choose between her career and doing the right thing.

| Original Score: 8.0/10 | Oct 26, 2022

A tense true crime thriller that avoids schlock horror tropes in favour of a welcome focus on the environment that allowed one of America’s worst serial killers to operate freely for years.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 26, 2022

Just because evil is banal doesn’t mean a movie has to be.

| Oct 25, 2022

Redmayne infuses Charlie with a kind of Norman Bates-like creepiness; he’s polite and quiet and only slightly disturbing until he explodes into full-on madness. Still, we can understand why Charlie’s patients trusted him, and why Amy bought into his act.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 20, 2022

A nifty procedural thriller...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 20, 2022
