| Summary |
A spellbinding blend of social observation and artful shocks, the debut feature from Nikyatu Jusu plunges into the increasingly fractured consciousness of Aisha, a Senegalese immigrant who takes a job as a nanny for a wealthy white family in New York City. Separated from her son and casually exploited by her employers, Aisha finds herself consumed by unsettling visions and a growing rage one that could either destroy or empower her. This visually captivating Tour de Force the first horror movie to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival distills complex ideas about motherhood, inequality, and cultural dislocation into a work of dreamlike dread. |
