FILM: LADYBIRD (MA15+) in our Armchair Cinema
In Lady Bird, Greta Gerwig reveals herself to be a bold new cinematic voice with her directorial debut, excavating both the humor and pathos in the turbulent bond between a mother and her teenage daughter. Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) fights against but is exactly like her wildly loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed mom (Laurie Metcalf), a nurse working tirelessly to keep her family afloat after Lady Bird's father (Tracy Letts) loses his job. Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.
P.S. We can also help out with finding your mum the ideal gift with our fresh range of pretty and purposeful goods. Gardener, cook, booklover, foodlover, homemaker, just your mum - there's likely something to suit. (Half of us at Nest are mums and we pretty much stock Nest with things we'd love for ourselves) -

Vigenser & Martin Live on Stage 26 April
All-original and a bit wild, their style is rooted in folk but resembles everything else.
Close your eyes and you’d swear you heard twins, with weaving rhythms, tight songs, and harmonies you just can’t pick apart.
Vic & Linds will be live on the cinema stage at Nest
7pm Show
Pre show Dinner and Drinks from 5pm
Intermission supper included in ticket price $35AU’s fiddler extraordinaire Lindsay Martin brings his virtuosic strings and velvet vocals to the fore, while NZ’s songstress Victoria Vigenser brings great lyric, driving rhythm and her sensational voice to the mix. They’re packing hefty and emotional punches, but with hands wrapped in silk, and songs to heal the scars.
Both accompanists by trade, their shared approach to harmony and musicianship makes for a full sound. They met at a rainy festival in NZ’s capital one day, and have since worked and played across the Tasman to produce a long-awaited (…avoided) album of Vigenser’s original material. They set off on an experimental tour, and their duo show received such a warm welcome from audiences across AU and NZ that they decided to keep it up. Now they’re back with even more hooky new material- it’s bound to leave your heart jumping and your head spinning. -
