In The Home The Nightingale

Magnificent. An uncompromising second feature by gifted Australian writer-director Jennifer Kent

Guy Lodge – Variety

Set in 1825, Clare, a young Irish convict woman, chases a British officer through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. On the way she enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy, who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.
