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 own 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."--Container.
