Audience Reviews for The Nest

  • Jan 14, 2021
    Law and Coon give two brilliant performances (Law is initially flashier but you can see that he's barely concealing his anguish, while Coon gets to slowly build to her eventual breakdown) and I really like the horror aesthetic being used for this kind of drama.
