The Nest (2020)
Oscar nominee Jude Law (The Young Pope, The Talented Mr Ripley) and Emmy nominee Carrie Coon (The Post, Gone Girl) star in the psychological drama The Nest, which sees a successful entrepreneur’s idyllic life begin to unravel after he moves his American family to a grand old English country manor.
The Nest has an 89% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with IndieWire saying “Carrie Coon delivers one of her most riveting performances to date,” and Guardian praising “Jude Law at his best”.
Helmed by Sundance and Cannes-winning writer, director and producer Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene), The Nest was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Sound Editing at this year’s Canadian Screen Awards, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it, “A hyper-nuanced study of marriage mind games [that] lingers long after the final credits.”
