The first horror(-ish) film to win Sundance's top award since 1991's Poison, Nanny is also the feature debut from writer-director Nikyatu Jusu. Drawing on West African folklore, her winning film follows a Senegalese immigrant (a widely praised Anna Diop) who leaves her own son behind (temporarily, she hopes) to find work in America, where she secures a job as a nanny for the young daughter of wealthy white Manhattanites. But her already difficult life becomes more so as a series of haunting dreams plagued by an ominous supernatural presence begin to blur into reality. The supernatural elements of the film didn't work for every critic at Sundance, but many praised Nanny nevertheless.
