Movie review: Carrie Coon and Jude Law ruffle feathers in wrenching ‘The Nest’ – Madison.com

At first, all seems well in the household of Rory (Jude Law) and Allison (Carrie Coon), and their two kids Samantha (Oona Roche) and Benjamin (Charlie Shotwell). The year is 1986, and the family lives a comfortable life in an unnamed American suburb. The film expertly captures the details of the era the music, the clothes, the indoor smoking without calling attention to them.

Theyre doing well but not that well they have a outdoor pool, but its small and not well-maintained. Thats not enough for Rory, who was a hotshot financier in London before he agreed to move to America a decade ago. Sprinkled amid the domestic contentment are shots of Rory gazing off into space, a restless look on his face.

Abruptly, he comes to Allison with an opportunity. He says his old boss Arthur (Michael Culkin) has agreed to bankroll Rory starting a new company back home in England. Allison is understandably skeptical at uprooting the family and moving half a world away, but Rory tsks-tsks away her objections with promises of wealth and luxury. He rents a lavish mansion in the English countryside for the family to stay in, and even buys Allison a new fur coat.
