Lorcan Finnegan | 2022 | 96 MINS
Ireland/UK/Philippines
A fashion designer (Eva Green) suffers from a mysterious illness that confounds her doctors and frustrates her husband (Mark Strong) - until help arrives in the form of a mysterious Filipino nanny.

In Detail

Christine’s illness appears to have wiped any memory of inviting nanny Diana to help her. Nevertheless, Diana’s traditional potions bring relief to Christine’s suffering while her healing endears her to an initially sceptical daughter.

However, her husband senses she must be too good to be true.

Skillfully directed by Lorcan Finnegan with allusions to colonial exploitation.

The film wrestles with the characters' psychological messiness and supernatural nuttiness.

A film with striking production values and prescient ideas and themes.
