"THE GOOD NURSE" (2022) #eddieredmayne #jessicachastain #movies

Directed by Tobias Lindholm (R, A Hijacking and A War), produced by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan) and based upon the 2013 book of the same name written by Charles Graeber, I expected to like this even before the first reel of the film and by the end, my expectations had been duly met, and often exceeded. Why was more an appreciation of producer Darren Aronofsky and his films over which I obsess, as well as my macabre interest in true crime and the mythos surrounding the ice cold blood of serial killers.

“Based on a true story” and adapted for the screen by Krysty Wilson-Cairns, we get a full directorial close up at two hospitals seven years apart and seven weeks later, and an investigation into a covered up death that would lead to the uncovering of the tracks of a serial killer who finally admitted to 29 confirmed killings amongst many hundreds more attributed to the monster now spending 18 consecutive life sentences rotting away inside New Jersey State Prison.

The above is the opening two paragraphs of my spoiler free review of "The Good Nurse" which was originally penned and published to my Medium blog site on 19th January 2023 and which can now be read in full via my Substack blog site linked immediately below:
