Leave your thoughts about Nightingale.
| Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenIt's a performance that gets the writhing interplay of transparency and opacity in a character who has gone beyond the deep end of unhinged narcissism and self-dramatization. |
| VarietyBrian LowryIt's a gutsy piece of work, leaving the audience to contemplate the details once it's all over. |
| indieWireAramide TinubuIn HBO's Nightingale, David Oyelowo gives the best performance of his career as Peter Snowden, a man quickly and violently descending into madness. |
| AV ClubJoshua AlstonA single-character film rests squarely on the shoulders of the actor, and Oyelowo turns in a breathtaking, visceral performance made more impressive by the strenuousness of the role. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniNightingale rages on at times with no real direction. At others, it hits us over the head with pretentious symbolism. Oyelowo's inspired performance keeps it afloat. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenNightingale is first an intellectualized puzzle, and a portrait of a man losing his mind a very distant second. |
| User ReviewBlair K5 stars - a ton of story for one character and location. Amazing script. David O was perfect. Truly suspenseful at the end and kind of frightening. |
| User ReviewJulie CWhat a performance!!! A must see, for a captivating, gripping tale so beautifully performed. |
| User ReviewDustin MA vivid reminder that David Oyelowo is here to stay. |
| User Reviewstefano lOutstanding performance on a topic that could easily have turned into a caricature. Oppressive and depressing and wonderful. |
