Welcome one, welcome all to this weeks’ fun-filled edition of The Playlist Podcast. This week, Charles, Mike, and Brian discuss the death of movie theaters (again), as well as two quality films, “Sound of Metal” and “The Nest,” while also being joined by director Sean Durkin.

Somehow, Sean Durkin made his breakthrough movie Martha Marcy May Marlene nearly a decade ago. Even harder to believe, sadly, is that it has taken him nine years to get a follow-up feature made.

Carrie Coon so badly wanted the slow-burn familial drama “The Nest” to be made, she told its director that she’d step aside so that he could cast “someone more famous” in her role.“The Nest,” which is now playing in select theaters nationwide, is writer-director Sean Durkin’s first in almost 10 years.

Carrie Coon, the star of “The Leftovers” and “Fargo” returns to the screen this week with the release of “The Nest,” acclaimed filmmaker Sean Durkin’s first film in almost a decade. The Emmy and Tony nominee plays Allison, who moves to England with her husband Rory (Jude Law), and children Sam (Oona Roche) and Benjamin (Charlie Shotwell).

Though film festivals are back up and running this fall (somewhat, at least), before then, all we really had to look back on in 2020 was Sundance in January. And thankfully, that festival was able to churn out quite a few solid features, including the forthcoming “The Nest,” from filmmaker Sean Durkin.

IFC Films is acquiring U.S. rights to Sean Durkin’s “The Nest,” a drama with Jude Law and Carrie Coon that premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

If you didn't know better, you might almost imagine that The Nest, writer-director Sean Durkin's long awaited follow-up to his debut Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011), was inspired by a lost Henry James novel.

All work and no play makes Rory O’Hara a dull boy — which is to say, one can scarcely overlook the connections between Sean Durkin’s subtly unsettling second feature, “The Nest,” and Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining,” even if this is by far the more tedious of the two movies. While the obsessive dad Law plays here doesn’t fly off the handle quite so spectacularly as Jack Nicholson did, the horror hits closer to home, since what’s haunting the O’Haras isn’t supernatural.
