 Nocturne is just the latest in a long line of films portraying female competition in a horrific key, as if it were an evil that inevitably leads to madness, evil, and moral decline.

 Nocturne is a well-shot and well-acted film that for most may be an enjoyable viewing but for me the lack of novelty takes on a negative connotation, because it contributes to legitimizing female stereotypes.

Nocturne centers around two teenage pianist sisters and a devil's deal, relying heavily on familiar horror tropes of female rivalry and moral decline. Although well-acted and shot, it fails to introduce new ideas or challenge stereotypes about women in horror. The film emphasizes anxiety and jealousy but ultimately delivers a conventional story without fresh innovation. The reviewer expresses disappointment in its perpetuation of clichéd narratives rather than a more empowering or subversive approach. Discover the eerie world of Nocturne—stream now and explore its haunting take on rivalry and ambition.
