Nesting

A new mother’s unresolved trauma leads to intense distress in writer/director Chloé Cinq-Mars’ gripping French drama/thriller Nesting. As it explores the impact of postpartum depression, the film paints a painfully relatable picture of what it’s like to lose your sense of self once part of that self becomes a needy, vulnerable creature that seemingly can’t be satiated, no matter how much you might love it or sacrifice for it.
