Short description

A couple with two young children hires an experienced nanny named Louise so that the mother, Myriam, can return to her job at a law firm. While Louise initially seems ideal and earns the children's affection, she gradually becomes a central and possessive figure in the household. The parents soon find themselves in a state of mutual dependence with the caregiver, leading to an unsettling shift in the family dynamic that eventually ends in tragedy.

This French crime drama and thriller was directed by Lucie Borleteau, marking the first of three films she has directed. The screenplay was written by Jérémie Elkaïm, Lucie Borleteau, and Maïwenn. The film stars Leïla Bekhti as Myriam, Karin Viard as Louise, and Antoine Reinartz as Paul, with Assya Da Silva appearing as Mila.

The movie has received a moderate reception from viewers, holding a 6/10 rating on IMDb based on 1,900 votes and a 6/10 rating on TMDB from 256 votes. This audience response is slightly higher than the rating provided by film critics, which stands at 5.6/10 based on 10 reviews.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The screenwriter and author of the bestselling novel of the same name, on which this film is based, Leila Slimani, initially wanted Maïwenn to direct. In the end, Maïwenn remained one of the screenwriters, and another screenwriter, Lucie Borleteau, directed the film.
