Nanny

About This Movie

Nanny (2022) by Nikyatu Jusu is quite an intriguing watch, really. It blends drama with horror in a way that feels fresh and unsettling. The pacing builds a slow burn, gradually drawing you into Aisha's world. Her journey as a Senegalese immigrant, working for this wealthy family in NYC, creates a striking contrast. You can almost feel the claustrophobic tension of her situation. The practical effects really hit hard, particularly in those eerie visions that haunt her. It’s all about that simmering rage and the cultural clash, which is palpable throughout. The performances are raw and compelling, especially from the lead. You get this refreshing take on identity and motherhood intertwined with supernatural elements. Definitely has its own vibe.
