The Nightingale

Everything changes for Clare when, one night, in 1825 Tasmania, her family is horrifically attacked by British officers. Determined to seek revenge, she sets to chase the culprits across the Tasmanian wilderness and enlists an Aboriginal tracker. Scarred by violent pasts, neither is willing to trust anyone, but Clare’s brutal quest for blood is a dangerous one and will require them to rely on each other. Jennifer Kent’s follow-up to THE BABADOOK is a merciless thriller, tackling toxic masculinity and the myth of colonialism, often tough but with haunting moments of grace.
