In 1825, Clare, a 21-year-old Irish convict, chases a British soldier through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. She enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.

A private user reviewed The Nightingale (2018)
Not For The Kiddies
Like many others I was highly anticipating Jennifer Kent's follow up of her 2014 freak out, The Babadook. Simply put, The Nightingale will be a near impossible watch for some. It is brutal, graphic and depressing. The disgusting treatment of Australia's indigenous people is on full display and am glad it was shown. I didn't really have any background on it and based on comments of the movie, Kent wanted it to be as accurate as possible. The Nightingale really has standout acting across the board. However, it sure isn't suitable for the Sunday night viewing.
