The Nest is a familial drama about wealth and lies, but this isn’t some earnest bore. It is a film of tone – thick, resonant tone. Each sequence is loaded with doubt and foreboding, which are hallmark sensibilities of director Sean Durkin, a filmmaker with a special flair for reality.
The camera is an important part of this naturalistic aura, and like Martha Marcy May Marlene, his debut feature from 2011, The Nest is a visually stunning piece of work. Durkin uses not Jody Lee Lipes, his cinematographer from Martha, but the Hungarian Dop Matya Erdely, who framed the nightmarish Holocaust drama Son of Saul. Erdely’s images are wide, colourful and flooded with natural light, making good use of the impressive locations that are mocked up to emulate 1980s England.
We know that it is the 1980s because of refreshingly subtle cues, such as news bulletins, boxy German saloons, and...
