The Netflix drama, which premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival, tells the horrifying true story of Charles Cullen, the serial killer who used his position as a nurse to murder up to 40 patients. But the film isn’t a psychological study.
Indeed, “The Good Nurse” is as much an indictment of the way that Cullen was able to maneuver through labyrinthine hospital systems, with executives and administrators covering his tracks as a way of skirting liability. That failure to fully acknowledge Cullen’s culpability in mysterious patient deaths, enabled him to go from one job to another, sowing destruction in his wake. Lindholm, who is Danish, says he wasn’t that aware of the particulars of the U.S.
Lindholm also directed several episodes of David Fincher’s “Mindhunter,” a look at FBI profilers. That made him wary of overly pat explanations for abhorrent compulsions when it came to Cullen. “We would meet in my apartment and run scenes over and over again,” says Lindholm. “Jessica and Eddie had been wanting to work with each other for a long time. They pushed each other and they had everything nailed down so that they could show up on set and be totally present. That’s when they found surprises.”
