Movie Reviews:

• MSB: 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.”
