What You Need To Know:
NANNY is almost a four star movie. It gives an emotional and profound allegorical, psychological meaning to the nanny’s scary, supernatural nightmares and visions. However, the scary nightmares and visions have an occult, pagan aspect to them. There are many obscenities and a depicted bedroom scene with explicit nudity. Finally, NANNY has a strong Romantic worldview with a strong Neo-Marxist, politically correct, anti-capitalist, feminist subtext. Media-wise viewers will reject NANNY.

Strong Romantic, leftist worldview slightly mitigated by positive moral elements showing that children are a blessing, and there are strong ties between women and their children, and a young adult man with his grandmother (one character says, “Thank God”), but marred by occult, pagan references and mystical encounters (some of which are allegorical/metaphorical) to a West African mermaid goddess and a trickster spirit who haunt the title character and who wind up giving the title character messages of warning and future hope, and marred by a Neo-Marxist, woke, politically correct, anti-capitalist, feminist, anti-masculine subtext trying to show how “capitalist imperialism,” “toxic” individualism and “patriarchy,” including the idea of the American Dream, oppress parent and child alike and rich and poor alike, but especially black women in the workforce

More Detail:
Aisha is an illegal immigrant from Senegal in New York who’s trying to earn enough money to bring her young son, Lamine, into the country. She takes a nanny job with Amy, an affluent career woman who has a young daughter named Rose. Aisha and Rose hit it off, but Rose’s mother is overprotective of her daughter’s eating habits. To protect Rose from allergies, Amy keeps Rose on a strict diet. No wonder, then, that Rose has become a picky eater. Aisha secretly gets around that problem by letting Rose eat some of the spicy African dishes she fixes for her lunch.
Making matters worse, Amy becomes stressed at work trying to compete with the “old boys’ club.” Amy starts asking Aisha to do more overtime hours, but she’s lax about paying Aisha for all her extra work. This delays Aisha’s efforts to get the money so her son can fly to New York.
Amy’s husband, Adam, a traveling photojournalist, finally returns home from a trip. After getting to know him better, Aisha starts telling him about Amy’s neglect in paying Aisha what she owes her. The problem is, Amy is the bigger breadwinner, and Adam can only give Aisha part of what Amy owes.
Meanwhile, Aisha starts having scary nightmares and visions related to the West African mermaid spirit or goddess, Mami Wata. In one of the dreams, Aisha thinks her bedroom is being filled with water. In another, the mermaid goddess is trying to drown her. Aisha also has a vision of a West African trickster spirit called Anansi, who appears as a large creepy spider and who figures in many West African fairy tales and myths.
At the same time, Aisha starts dating Malik, a black security guard in Amy and Adam’s building. It isn’t long before Malik introduces Aisha to his grandmother.

Finally, NANNY has a Romantic, Neo-Marxist, politically correct subtext. The movie’s Neo-Marxist, anti-capitalist, feminist subtext, as described by the writer/director tries to show how “capitalist imperialism,” “toxic” individualism and “patriarchy,” including the idea of the American Dream, oppress parent and child alike, and rich and poor alike, but especially black women and immigrants in the workforce.
Media-wise, informed, discerning viewers will want to reject the occult paganism and communist subtext in NANNY.
