Nightingale

Nightingale (2014), directed by Elliott Lester, is an American drama available to watch online on iFILM. David Oyelowo performs alone for 83 minutes — no other speaking roles, no location changes, no cutaways.

Peter is an Iraq war veteran who has returned to a life that no longer fits. Through video diaries aimed at an imaginary audience, he circles an obsession with a fellow soldier, each recording pulling him a little further from solid ground. The film is stripped to almost nothing: a fixed camera, a single room, one man talking — and that's precisely what makes it hard to shake.

Oyelowo picked up Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for the performance, and both were earned. Stream Nightingale online on iFILM.
