FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/nanny-spoiler-free-review-sundance-2022 "Nanny boasts an intriguing story about maternal instincts that will also touch the hearts of many immigrants. Anna Diop probably delivers her career-best performance, commanding the screen in an almost mesmerizing manner. The enclosed location is gorgeously handled by Rina Yang's remarkable cinematography, but the admittedly significant supernatural elements become too repetitive and too heavy throughout the runtime. The ending saves an impactful yet underwhelming revelation that warrants the eerie atmosphere, but the inevitable pacing issues may leave the audience too tired by that point. Still, Nikyatu Jusu shows tremendous skill and braveness by tackling one of the most demanding filmmaking tasks while carrying a unique voice. One to look out for." Rating: C+

_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

Nanny is dark psychological trip that takes a brutal look at the "American Dream" and deconstructs it in a brilliant way. The performances are spectacular all around, with Anna Diop absolutely shining and stealing the show. She was incredible, her range was fantastic and played the role with nuance it needed. The horror elements are nice, but this is more of a psychological thriller. The finale felt a bit rushed and some of the themes are slightly spoon-fed to the audience, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the film. Score: 82% Verdict: Great
