Not Home Alone

About This Movie

Not Home Alone (2024) brings a fresh twist to the classic 'home alone' trope, though with a more modern slant. Masha Khamitova, our youthful protagonist, finds herself at the center of chaos when her parents leave her with a nanny who is not what she seems. The mix of comedy and tension is quite engaging; you have those light-hearted moments that remind you of childhood mischief, but then it dips into something darker as Masha uncovers the nanny's true intentions. The pacing is an interesting ride, balancing the playful scenes with some genuinely suspenseful moments. The performances, especially by Masha, add a relatable charm. The practical effects keep the tone whimsical rather than overly reliant on CGI, which is refreshing.
