Aisha, a Senegalese immigrant who takes a job as a nanny for a wealthy white family in New York City, finds herself consumed by unsettling visions and a growing rage.

Reviews:

Author: ChrisSawin
_Nanny_ is a peculiar debut for Nikyatu Jusu. The performances in the film are decent, but Aisha’s experience in America feels like a terrible scavenger hunt with the world’s worst Cracker Jack prize as its reward. Other than forgetting your family forever and completely starting over from scratch in a new land, what _Nanny_ stands for is questionable as well. It’s essentially a pointless excursion into surreal nonsense. **Full review:** https://reelrundown.com/movies/Nanny-2022-Review-Babysitting-the-Persnickety
