The Good Nurse

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Good Nurse is hobbled by stilted dialogue and unrealistic story elements, but those issues are offset by strong work from a pair of talented leads.

Audience Says

Although it's definitely entertaining, The Good Nurse is also an example of how a terrific cast and incredible story can often add up to less than the sum of their parts.

Scott Tobias

The Reveal (Substack)

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Newsday

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

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

Loud and Clear Reviews

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

John R Great mystery story, the acting was very good and believable.Well worth the price of admission. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/22 Full Review Dave Riveting and becomes more so as the film progresses. One of the best films Ive seen in 2022! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/22 Full Review Janice W I went into this movie knowing nothing about this movie except the prior works of both actors. I was surprised by both performances. Eddie played against type. I intrigued by the title. Eddie's character was a kind person who helped his co worker and you kind of wondered why he has worked in so many hospitals. Jessica's character showed a lot of compassion and empathy considering what she was facing. Her portrayal allowed the police to capture him after she got Eddie's character to admit the killing though the reasons were unknown. She stopped a series of serial killings. This is definitely a must see and an Oscar Contender. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/22/22 Full Review Leonard F Tension is built quickly and is maintained for every second of the movie. The score helps sustain the tension. spoiler alert The utter failure of 9 hospitals to act, resulting in the deaths of literally untold numbers of patients, is truly shocking. The heroics of Nurse Amy Loughren are captured beautifully. the acting by Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne is wonderful. The rest of the cast is excellent and totally believable. All in all, this is a winner. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/22 Full Review Gary p This was such a alow moving movie, I almost fell asleep several times. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Audience Member Watched this movie today. I absolutely loved it!! I thought I recognized Eddie redmayne from Les Miserables. (He did great) Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
