Nanny

About This Movie

Nanny (2020) dives into the unsettling dynamics of shared living. The atmosphere is thick with tension—two flatmates, one locked door, and a gradual build-up of paranoia. It navigates themes of trust and the unseen barriers in relationships. The pacing is deliberate, each moment stretching out as their interactions grow more fraught. The performances are raw and authentic, capturing that brittle edge of cohabitation where small annoyances can spiral into something darker. There’s a subtle horror lurking just beneath the surface, amplified by minimalistic but effective practical effects. What stands out is how it captures that creeping sense of dread, making the ordinary feel suffocatingly claustrophobic. A lesser-known gem that kind of sticks with you in an eerie way.
