The Nightingale. 2018.
1825 Tasmania, Clare a young Irish woman beaten, raped and widowed by British soldiers and her baby killed goes after those who wronged her with Billy, a Aboriginal orphan as a guide. Marked with trauma's of their past, the two fight to overcome distrusts and prejudice during The Black War.
After seeing a clip of this I went into this with a blind watch and this was tough to sit through with the first part of violence, nothing new I haven't seen but it can be difficult. Aisling Franciosi did bring a solid performance as Clare who is hell bent on revenge and will go to lengths to get it, Baykali Ganambarr plays the guide Billy who hates "the whites" for what they have done to his people and slowly builds up trust to one person.
Jennifer Kent who wrote and directed this film, did do a lot of research on The Black War and brought her interpretation to the film and almost how accurate British Colonist treated those around them and will do anything to take the land away as well as treating the locals without any pity. I'm not sure if I would say yes this is recommended but on the other hand I would say no due to the story line, If you want a decent solid film with great acting and 2 hours to spare then this film may suit you.
