Breaking Glass Pictures has announced this morning the North American release of Nesting, the haunting postpartum psychological thriller from director Chloé Cinq-Mars.
Nesting (aka Peau à Peau) releases on VOD on May 29, 2026.
The psychological horror movie follows “Pénélope (Rose-Marie Perreault), a new mother struggling with postpartum depression and the lingering trauma of her sister’s death. As sleep deprivation takes hold, the boundary between dream and reality begins to collapse, pulling her into a paranoid and increasingly dangerous spiral.”
Alongside Perreault, the cast also includes:
- Simon Landry-Desy (Gaspard)
- Saladin Dellers (Edward)
- Marie Bélanger (Charlotte)
Watch the official trailer below.
Ahead of its digital release, Nesting will receive a special one-night theatrical screening event on May 26 at select Alamo Drafthouse Cinema locations nationwide, including:
Austin (South Lamar), Boston (Seaport), Chicago (Wrigleyville), Denton & Richardson (DFW), Denver (Sloans Lake), Laredo, Los Angeles (DTLA), New York (Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, Yonkers), Raleigh, San Antonio (Park North), Mountain View, San Francisco (New Mission), Santa Clara (Valley Fair), Woodbury (Twin Cities), and Indianapolis.
The film made its World Premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival, where Cinq-Mars won the Best Director Award (2025), launching a successful festival run. Our own Joe Lipsett wrote of the central performance in his Fantasia review, “Pénélope feels like a real, harried mother. While the film slowly unfurls layers of backstory about her complicated (near fatal) pregnancy, as well as her tragic past with Charlotte, this is rarely delivered via Cinq-Mars’s sumptuous visuals and Perreault’s face.”
