There's much to enjoy in this darkly comic update of Cain and Abel.

The Australian

Although Brothers' Nest feels very much like a short story uncomfortably expanded to feature length, it's not unentertaining.

Rated: 3/5

The Jacobsons have given us another comedy classic, far stranger than the last.

Rated: 4/5

Nobody's Reading This But Me

They might not look it, being burly and impassive, but brothers Terry and Jeff (actual brothers Shane and Clayton Jacobson, who also directs) are desperate men.

Rated: 4/5

Always Good Movies

Boasting a fantastic score by Richard Pleasance and his Pleasantville band, the film takes some time to build up, but the writing is effective, pointing out to a tough, unrelenting, and intense final part.

Rated: 3.5/5

This film may well have been well produced. It was dark and it was supposed to be. It had that melancholy feeling to it throughout. Well acted. However, it was a snooze fest. People often say "It was alright for an Australian film". I used to hate that, and tried to be patriotic, but Australia can make some awful films at times.

Interesting but slow moving story. For me it was lacking in the humour department.

Brilliantly executed dark comedy with an underlying twisted family drama for good measure. Achieves a great balance between humour and emotion.

ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH MOVIE! This has to be the worst Austalian movie I have seen. The plot was slow and negative not a comedy at all, to make things worse the ending was disgusting and disturbing. DONT WATCH IT!!
