I get the point but

I love that bourgeois decadent aesthetic as much as everyone else but this movie is too damn slow.

Literally nothing happens for 2/3 of the movie and the final twist doesn't really make up for it. The idea should have been explored a lot more

An excellent gothic

It is a pleasure to see films of this genre in the Italian panorama. The Nest is directed by Roberto De Feo, here at his first rehearsal as a director. In some places we see that this is his debut film but otherwise he has an excellent staging where the jumpscares are not the tension but the gothic atmospheres and the fact that there is a mystery behind the whole. Excellent the cast, chosen with great care and above all excellent the ending that initially may leave you perplexed but, observing the film, the dialogues and certain enigmatic scenes, we can understand that that ending was well studied. Recommended!

The house is awesome, the sub-themes are many

The cinematography is good. The characters are emotional. It's very difficult to expect anyone to understand what they have without knowing what its like to have none of it. There are several threads of thought within the film. There is the evil that inhabits those with too much control. There is the desperation that comes with keeping dark secrets. Love is easily distorted when one tells themselves that everything they so is for others. People only ever do what they believe, so what they want. There is a man in this film that enjoys being horrible. He feels he can justify himself by saying it is someone else making the decisions. No one can be like he is without being truly depraved deep inside himself. A sub-theme is the significance of music genres. Music is best enjoyed when all the genres are understood- not just one. Possibly the film can be summarized by saying happiness is best enjoyed while knowing what you do not want.

WOW, is this bad!!!

I gave this film 3 stars purely for the atmosphere of the film. Otherwise, it a long and tedious and seemingly endless all leading to a pretty lousy twist at the end that did not warrant the long and strange storyline to build up to it.

It is listed as a horror story, but except for the twist there is NOTHING horrific in it except for extremely creepy mother and extended family and their bizarre ways.

The characters are all pretty creepy, not in haunted or supernatural ways, but in reflecting people who make your skin crawl with their personalities.

Even the boy comes across as a sinister figure, although he is not. The story makes him a tragic figure and one deserving of the viewers sympathy, but the way he is played and his dialogue makes one feel unsettled by him.

It is not horrible, but you choose to watch it keep No-Doz and strong caffeinated coffee handy to keep you awake till the end!

Honestly People...Come on

I do not understand the high ratings regarding this movie; I'm truly at a loss.

People want to call this movie an aesthetically, beautiful, dark and intelligent, slow burn, when in reality it's simply long, boring, and wasteful.

There is so much of nothing going on for an hour and a half, no explanation as to the motives of the psychotic mother, the brain numbing pace, the child who is so micromanaged you began to wonder if he's truly brainwashed, or just stupidly compliant.

The scenes are so long and drawn out without any cohesive understanding as to what prior scenes have to do with what is currently happening.

Just gloom, doom, an overly dominant mother, the other psychotic character, the doctor, and household staff who wander around, terrified, of who knows what.

And, that ending. Really? Surely the producers could have given better subtle cues within the movie, so when the end comes you're prepared for it all to make sense. No. You're just left scratching your head going, huh? With all that said, after the big reveal at the end, (you still hate the mother) you'd think the mother would've wanted that kid to walk... but, you have to watch it to understand what I'm saying; or just watch 30 minutes then fast forward to the end, and ask yourself it it was worth fast forwarding, or sitting through all the drivel.

Trivia
About her nude scene, Francesca Cavallin said, "We were already in Turin, and Roberto [De Feo] says to me, 'Before we start shooting I have a request to make of you, something personal. I have already talked about it with the production and the premise is that the final decision is yours. I've been thinking a lot about the scene where you cut yourself (I was originally supposed to be sitting on the edge of the bathtub, dressed, and he would start from the trickle of blood and go back up to me), and I'm asking you to do it nude. It's a nude that makes sense though, for the scene, for the character and her private moment. For me it would be much stronger, however, I defer to you, because it was not in the script.' I answer him, 'Roberto, for me nudity -if it makes sense- doesn't involve any problem. My body is my instrument, I am an actress.' Then we start talking about the scene, which was originally supposed to have me sitting, or semi-sitting, while cutting myself. Then I reflect on it and say, 'I have a proposal: what if I were in the fetal position? For a character like Elena, the most private moment, of returning to the essence, must correspond to a return to the uterine environment, to a condition of absolute protection from the outside world. In my opinion, for Elena there is no greater intimacy. And you should frame her from above, naked, inside that tub' The result was stylistically and visually perfect. It is a nude, but one of extraordinary elegance. And I was blown away when I saw the camera movement he did, 180 degrees. After he finished, he made a point of showing me the shot."
