Film Review: “Nanny” – A Bold and Engaging Exploration of Motherhood and Legacy

“Nanny” is a deeply personal and emotionally charged short film that centers around a mother of Jamaican descent who, grappling with her own identity and need for connection, hires a Jamaican nanny for her daughter. Through the lens of this intimate relationship, Jusu masterfully delves into the layers of Black womanhood, intergenerational trauma, and the longing for a sense of belonging.
