Reception edit

The film has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on nine reviews.[5]

Kalvin Henely of Slant Magazine awarded the film one star out of four and wrote, "The way Nesting goes out of its way to tell us where it’s set is symptomatic of the film in general."[2]

Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The script unfortunately suffers from its own case of arrested development, barely getting out of the gate before stalling, and never building enough laughs or narrative impetus to justify feature length."[1]
