The Nest – Element Pictures

Entrepreneur Rory (Jude Law), relocates his wife Allison (Carrie Coon) and their children from suburban America to his native England with dreams of profiting from booming 1980’s London. While Rory thrives chasing lofty deals in the city, Allison and the kids struggle to adapt.

As the isolation of their new home drives the family further apart, and the promise of a lucrative new beginning starts to unravel, Rory and Allison have to face the unwelcome truths lying beneath the surface of their marriage.
