Stay in da House Cinema 2023 - Fingernails

Fingernails is super indie. It streams now on Apple TV+. Well it landed on the streaming platform at the start of last month. However as you may have noticed I am playing catch-up right now.

Starring a brilliant cast, lead by Jessie Buckley, Riz Ahmed, Jeremy Allen White, and Luke Wilson. 

Cate Blanchett also serves as one of the film's producers, adding to the star power behind this streaming feature. 

Fingernails follows a woman who starts working at an institute that tests whether the love between two people in a couple is real. The film premiered at the 50th Telluride Film Festival on August 31, while having a limited cinema release late October.

Riz Ahmed is outstanding while Jeremy Allen White flexs his acting muscles are being in one of the most loved series of the last few years, The Bear. Not to mention his outstanding role as Lip in the US version of Shameless.


With a great soundtrack, this film has so many indie vibes. Whilst being slightly predictable, Fingernails is an interesting look at love, the tests people will endure to see their compatibility.

This is not the most amazing film of the year, however the leads all do their best.

Apple TV+ have had a big few months with the recent third series of Morning Wars, the Godzilla Monsters, Monarch series, with more on the way!

Not bad, not perfect, but a decent little romantic drama. 2.5 Stars.
