Film Review - The Good Nurse
October 26, 2022
Director Tobias Lindholm made a name for himself as the helmer of “A Hijacking” and “A War,” working with a restrained yet powerful sense of emotion while exploring the procedural experience of terrorism and military combat. They were excellent features with outstanding performances and a rich sense of tension, and now, after years working in the Danish film industry, Lindholm goes Hollywood with “The Good Nurse,” where he teams up with stars Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne for another suspenseful understanding of character and mystery. Screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns (“1917,” “Last Night in Soho”) adapts a true crime book by Charles Graeber, endeavoring to transform the details of possible murder and an ensuing investigation into more of a human story while still tending to the tightness of discoveries and suspicion. “The Good Nurse” isn’t quite as gripping as Lindholm’s previous efforts, but it remains deeply compelling as it finds its way through a disturbing story.
