Reception[]

Family Nest received moderately positive reviews from film critics. Rotten Tomatoes reports an 80% approval rating, with an average rating of 6.9/10.[1] Jonathan Rosenbaum of Chicago Reader wrote, "This is strong stuff, but the highly formal director of Almanac of Fall, Damnation, and Satantango is still far from apparent."[2] Keith Uhlich of Slant Magazine rated the film 2/4 stars and called the characters "unconvincing mouthpieces for a highly unsubtle political critique."[3]
