Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

binghambartee Nerve had me hooked from the opening credits. Sebastien Guy has crafted a movie that is achingly beautiful in it's gritty, edgy form. Cinematically, it is a feast for the eyes with camera moves that give us hints along the way. The story is a plausible premise and the characters are well drawn with character arcs that are distinguishable. Sebastien is a master story teller. The music was especially flawless, the attention to detail that drove the entire piece emotionally. Sebastien Guy has created a cinematic wonder, this movie will stay with you. Let's hope this is the first of a long line of films by Sebastien Guy!

mel-336 Nerve is a new Aussie independent feature that is well worth checking out! It has uncovered great new talent in the film's director and the two leads who play Jakob and Grace. The film is a successful moody, dark take on one man's obsession to discover the identity of his dead wife's lover and is certainly an entertaining ride! Both the cinematography and musical score are fantastic and underpins the narrative fabulously. It is great to see inner city Sydney appear in the film in a gritty, dark way and becoming like another character in the film. Nerve also has a supporting cast featuring well known faces like Gary Sweet and Cameron Daddo but the stand out is Georgina Haig who plays Grace who is luminous on screen and delivers a strong performance through out alongside Christian Clark's Jakob. Following the screenings at this year's Sydney Film Festival, there were some less than positive reviews about the film which was surprising to read, as Nerve overall is bold debut. It is not a flashy, big budget film but a local, quiet achiever that slowly draws you in and keeps you guessing.

Edwina Hayes I saw this very impressive debut feature at the Sydney Film Festival on a cold winters night. The moody soundtrack was superb and really helped create intrigue in the opening sequences . I wasn't really sure where it was headed and I liked the fact that things were revealed gradually and gave the audience some thinking space.What also worked really well was the fact that Sydney was very much a generic city in the way it was photographed so it really felt like you could have been anywhere. This helped to immerse  you in the character's world. I think for this reason it could do well on the international stage.The performances were great and I really liked the way the minor characters were weaved into the story.What an amazing outcome for a film shot in a couple of weeks on a tiny budget. This director is definitely a guy (excuse the pun) to watch.I'd say he has a  big future in Hollywood along with his DP James L Brown!!Someone in the audience asked if the soundtrack would become available and I think the filmmakers are working on that now which will be great...

because21 I have had the pleasure to watch Nerve during the Sydney Film Festival and all I could think of was 'Whaoooo'. I was glad to see one of my favorite style executed in a movie shot in my own city. The style which allow you as an audience to think, and see where it will take you. Nothing is given away in too many obvious way, but everyone with a sense of details will get to the end of the film and think 'yeah, that's it, I understand now!' Allowing us to think as an audience, but also as people, relating with our own life, our own doubts, and our own mistakes. Relating to the character in such a deep way that we understand them, or just accept them without judging. The directing and acting performances has been extremely well executed. I loved the way it has been filmed. It helped me to be part of this space, which somehow created that tension that I am looking forward when watching a movie like this. The sound has been admirably polished to a point where you could easily just close your eyes and let it go. Highly recommend.
