As a series of perverse scam calls unsettles an idyllic retirement community, a starry-eyed nurse becomes entangled with her mysterious patient.
Waiting to begin her first-day orientation for her new night nurse job at a luxury retirement community, Eleni notices an energy in the geriatric exercise pool. There’s something unexpected about how the bodies are coming together in the water, the mental energy, the tone of conversation, and the way her new client turns around, out of the blue, to stare straight into her eyes.
Debut director Georgia Bernstein’s atmospheric, psychosexual thriller palpably explores how emotion, deception, and sexual obsession can come together in the liminal space between caregivers and the people they care for. Night Nurse is a bold and visually luscious film that delivers a tense, clever ride that keeps the viewer in constant precarious balance, guessing what is madness and what is a dangerously scintillating manipulation. — SF
