"The writer-director Sean Durkin brings a brooding tension to his story, elevated by the complexity of his characters."
★★★★ Amber Wilkinson, The Times

"A film with a delicate slow build that feels fitting for a director who's also taken his time to make it."
★★★★ Benjamin Lee, Guardian

"You could easily spend the next decade trying to decode its themes."
★★★★ Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly

"It's pure pleasure to watch a film like The Nest, which is scary for all the right reasons and leaves you feeling unsettled at the end."
★★★★ Alissa Wilkinson, Vox

"What makes Durkin's vision so powerfully unsettling is its ease with ambiguity, its ability to make cruelty and tenderness seem like flip sides of the same human coin."
Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
