Jonathan Romney Screen International Chokri, Léger and the cast are clearly having fun throughout – at times too much fun, which can make Babysitter an alienating, exhausting watch. Jun 20, 2022 Full Review Siddhant Adlakha indieWire A riotous comedy in the body of a Technicolor nightmare, the film arrives with thunderous, uncompromising energy that only lets up when Chorkri decides to veer into the phantasmagorical. Rated: A Jan 28, 2022 Full Review Isaac Feldberg RogerEbert.com It's such an endearingly, refreshingly weird satire that, out of all the Midnight titles at Sundance this year, it feels the most destined for cult status. Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Next Best Picture Aside from Chokri giving a rather genuine performance as the pained Nadine (the only affecting acting featured in the film), “Babysitter” isn’t worth a watch, and there are far better features on this subject matter to seek out. Rated: 1/10 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Monica Reid Far Out Magazine What detracts from the film still more is that the concept becomes muddled and the message unclear well before the conclusion. Rated: 2.5/5 May 24, 2023 Full Review Steven Warner In Review Online Babysitter isn’t nearly as pointed in the rest of its observations, an absurdist take on misogyny, female empowerment, and toxic masculinity that exhausts the viewer long before its end credits Jun 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
