Nanny (2022)

A young immigrant works as a nanny to collect money to bring her son to her.

'Nanny' is a dramatic film and uses elements of horror and fantasy to create a sense of threat and warning for an idealized future. Visually, Nanny is flawless, impressive and with rich and meaningful chromatic effects. As a message, the film manages to be very confusing and create the impression of deception through an ending that does not seem correlated with the foreshadowing that seemed intended throughout the film, even from its beginning.

Director:  Nikyatu Jusu      

With: Anna Diop, Michelle Monaghan, Sinqua Walls, Morgan Spector

Rating: 6/10
