A ghost story without ghosts and a marriage story without a divorce, Sean Durkin s latest fractured-family drama, The Nest, is a tense psychological thriller driven by powerhouse performances from Carrie Coon, Jude Law and some very creepy slow zooms.
The long-awaited follow-up to Durkin s acclaimed debut Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011), about a girl taken in by a cult, The Nest sees the American writer-director circling similarly haunted terrain: displacement, deception and a family in disarray.
