“Plays the card of dramatic suspense to the point where it comes close to the horror film.”
— Cineuropa


Myriam (Leïla Bekhti) and Paul (Antoine Reinartz), are your typical pair of bourgeois Parisian parents of two young children, toddler Adam, and 5-year-old Mila, who are taking up all of Myriam’s time.

When Myriam decides to go back to work despite her husband’s initial reluctance, the couple starts looking for a nanny. After a very selective process, they finally find the perfect candidate, Louise, a poised 40-year old woman who is an instant hit with both kids and parents. The couple soon learns, however, that appearances can be deceiving.


WATCH THE TRAILER


Adapted from the eponymous novel by Leïla Slimani, winner of the Goncourt prize and based on a true story that took place in Manhattan in 2012, THE PERFECT NANNY propelled by actress Karin Viard, who masterfully embodies the role of a disturbed nanny whose mask of perfection gradually cracks to reveal something far darker underneath.

“Borleteau’s direction is blunt and lacking any vanity, embracing the pulpy nature of this narrative and allowing each performance to breathe.” — CRITERION CAST
