I am but a simple man. I see Carrie Coon, I watch Carrie Coon. I went into this film blind, not seeing any trailer or anything outside the cast. Carrie Coon is such a fierce and there is a scene maybe 20-30 minutes into the film at a dinner party and Carrie has this incredible non-audible close up that is so great. Sean Durkin knew what he was getting with Carrie and gave her the space to operate in the best way possible. Incredible use of the house itself which felt like the third billed character.
Slow burn of a film with no grandiose payoff but more a calm and understated agreement or conclusion. This one will certainly stick to my bones and I will think about it for days to come. Not sure if this was the color balance from the projector or by design but this was a very dark film, using almost all natural lighting it seemed.
This film will definitely benefit from a re-watch to fully grasp the unraveling of the spool and so I can properly understand the final horse scene.
Always great to hear anything from Richard Reed Parry and he did an excellent job with the score.
Carrie Coon forever
An excellent cast elevate this familiar but well made tale.
I was distracted by all the horse riding.
"Well, this was all a bit grim" said the horse.
Beautifully uncomfortable, Carrie Coon is hilarious and Jude Law is very good at playing a total c:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:t. Great ending too.
What was the point? I liked the acting but the plot was meh!
The Nest is an incredibly unsettling film about the downfall of a family and them slowly unraveling into pure dysfunction
Delicious, crisp visuals and a couple of sizzling lead performances from Coon and Law
Kinda felt like they couldn’t come up with an ending though...just kinda stops.
The movie’s finale is understated, inconclusive … and hopeful
Turns out you can only lie about being rich for so long.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, RORY.
I was glued to the screen, but only because I didn't notice that I fell asleep after 15 minutes. I woke up refreshed when it was over. I'm thinking of replacing my sleeping pills with this movie. It's at least as effective in double blind placebo controlled studies! Well done!

Everything was set up for this to be a great movie. You had two terrific actors at the top of their game. You had a dark and sterile English manor as the backdrop. And unhappiness - lots of unhappiness. The result? A decent movie but nothing more. I wanted to like this so much more than I did but it never reached anything beyond "interesting". I really didn't care that much about the characters or their unhappiness. I've seen better movies about broken people and broken families. I thought that last scene was very good and seemed true to the spirit of the film.
