Brothers' Nest
The Press Reviews
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. Full Review
A thriller cut from the Blood Simple cloth, recalling the more serious and stripped down work of Joel and Ethan Coen. Full Review
...if you're open to its acidic charms, Brothers' Nest is one for the books. Full Review
All of it is razor-sharp, darkly funny, and tense. Full Review
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. Full Review
Brothers' Nest is reasonably satisfying as a film about the weird passions of family. It has a certain integrity as that, even if it's not a thigh-slapper. Full Review
The Jacobsons have given us another comedy classic, far stranger than the last. Full Review
