What they share

Theysit in Drama / Western territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Nightingale is

Rain-lashed Tasmania. 1825. A bloodied hand clutches a stolen fowling piece. A young Irish convict follows a British officer’s boot prints deeper into the bush, a native tracker at her side whose silence is heavier than the cicadas. Both hunt vengeance across a land already hemorrhaging. One woman’s rifle, one man’s spear. A Black War vengeance Western.
