Forced to go away her younger son behind in Senegal to construct a greater life, a girl takes a job caring for the daughter of a wealthy New York City household. But there’s no American dream current in The Nanny, the primary horror movie to win the Sundance Film Festival Dramatic Grand Jury Prize. A brand new trailer is right here to rattle your home nightmares.
Not solely is Nanny the primary horror movie to win that prize at Sundance, it’s solely the second time a movie with a Black feminine director has gained it. Pretty exceptional contemplating it’s the debut function from writer-director Nikyatu Jusu, who drew upon her personal experiences as a Senegalese immigrant in crafting the story. According to the press launch:
“Set in New York City, this fable of a Senegalese immigrant’s experience working for an affluent family is grounded in the real life experiences of domestic workers. The story is personal to Nikyatu Jusu’s upbringing, whose mother sustained her household with this occupation. Jusu incorporated spiritual genre elements that spoke to her lineage … At its core, Nanny is a genre-bending film that blends psychological horror with culturally relevant issues of social identity, including race, gender, and socioeconomic status.”
Nanny stars Senegalese American actor Anna Diop (DC’s Titans, Jordan Peele’s Us), in addition to Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible – Fallout), Sinqua Walls (American Soul), Morgan Spector (The Gilded Age), Rose Decker (Mare of Easttown), and Leslie Uggams (Deadpool). It hits theaters on November 23, then arrives on Prime Video December 16.
