The Good Nurse is a 2022 American crime drama film directed by Tobias Lindholm (writer of The Hunt and Another Round) and written by Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917, Last Night in Soho), based on the 2013 book of the same name by Charles Graeber.

Amy (Chastain), a compassionate nurse and single mother struggling with a life-threatening heart condition, is stretched to her physical and emotional limits by the hard and demanding night shifts at the ICU. But help arrives when Charlie Cullen (Redmayne), a thoughtful and empathetic fellow nurse, starts at her unit. While sharing long nights at the hospital, the two develop a strong and devoted friendship, and for the first time in years, Amy truly has faith in her and her young daughter's future. But after a series of mysterious patient deaths sets off an investigation that points to Charlie as the prime suspect, Amy is forced to risk her life and the safety of her children to uncover the truth.
The Good Nurse had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2022, and is scheduled to be released in select theaters in the United States on October 19, 2022, before its streaming release on October 26, by Netflix. Watch the official trailer below.
