Movie Info

On a cold morning in the middle of country Victoria, two brothers arrive at the family home intent on murdering their stepfather Roger. Terry and Jeff's motive is simple--killing their step---dad will render their dying Mother's plan to change her will in his favor redundant. A staged "suicide" has been meticulously planned but there is one thing the boys didn't take into account, spending an entire day together. Old grudges, different worldviews and a general troubled history will pit these two brothers against each other. 'Brothers' Nest' is a tragic comedy about family, loyalty and murder--because after all "blood is thicker than water".

Critic Reviews for Brothers' Nest

All Critics (21) | Top Critics (3)

Though brimming with pitch-black comedy, "Brothers' Nest" actually plays like more of an absurdist tragedy as it pits good brother against good-brother-gone-bad in a cautionary tale of longing and desperation that packs a surprisingly affecting punch.

All of it is razor-sharp, darkly funny, and tense.

Top Critic

This is a comedy that's blacker than pitch, and tethered enough to unexaggerated human behavior that it can really commit to the consequences of its characters' colossal stupidity.

A slow build gives way to a fiery conclusion as Brother's Nest proves a slow burn thriller must-see.

Reminiscent of the best of the Coens' work, Brothers' Nest is a future classic in the making.

Brother's Nest will make you laugh, hold tight to the armrest of your seat, and then cry with its tale of a dysfunctional family.
