Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

The Nest (out Feb 4) is centred on an interesting character - a superficial, compulsive liar (Jude Law) who puts an exhaustive amount of time into “appearing successful” as opposed to doing the hard yards and earning his achievements. The film deserves a look but his arc is limited and it feels like an opportunity has been missed to make something more distinct and memorable. Grade: B-.
