There's much to enjoy in this darkly comic update of Cain and Abel.

3/5

Although Brothers' Nest feels very much like a short story uncomfortably expanded to feature length, it's not unentertaining.

The Jacobsons have given us another comedy classic, far stranger than the last.

4/5

They might not look it, being burly and impassive, but brothers Terry and Jeff (actual brothers Shane and Clayton Jacobson, who also directs) are desperate men.

3.5/5

Boasting a fantastic score by Richard Pleasance and his Pleasantville band, the film takes some time to build up, but the writing is effective, pointing out to a tough, unrelenting, and intense final part.

Brilliantly executed dark comedy with an underlying twisted family drama for good measure. Achieves a great balance between humour and emotion.

This film made my top ten films for 2018. Single location thriller done exceptionally well. For the full review see vanessasnonspoilers.com

ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH MOVIE! This has to be the worst Austalian movie I have seen. The plot was slow and negative not a comedy at all, to make things worse the ending was disgusting and disturbing. DONT WATCH IT!!

Thank God for Brothers' Nest, I was genuinely worried that 2018 didn't have anything great left to offer me. Australia has a pretty grim take when it comes to the "Dark Comedy" genre, and Brothers' Nest is absolutely no exception. But if you think of it as less of a comedy and more of a Crime Drama that you'll probably laugh in (and then maybe feel kinda bad), then you'll do well.

pretty amazing dark comedy

Dec 9, 2018

Starts off as a bit of a funny awkward Aussie film then progressively (and quite naturally) turns dark.The suspense building throughout the second half of the movie made it almost more of psychological thriller! Wonderful movie for anyone that likes something a bit different and a bit dark.
