This rampage of revenge marked another reckoning in Australian cinema as The Fall's Aisling Franciosi delivered a stunning performance as Clare, an Irish convict on the hunt for Hawkins (Sam Claflin), the British officer who has destroyed her life. Helping Clare is Billy (Baykali Ganambarr), an Aboriginal tracker who shows her a way to reconnect with her own humanity as they pick their steps through Tasmania in 1825. Writer-director Jennifer Kent convinced many to leave the lights on with her child-in-peril debut The Babadook, but The Nightingale is scarier because it is so grounded in reality and the evil that men do. The violence and racism are truly shocking, but there are also moments of astounding natural beauty and unexpected tenderness. Your own understanding of strength and fragility is questioned throughout. There's as much chance of forgetting this film as there is of wanting to watch it again.
