This film is what happens when Avant Garde and French farce with a mission meets Magic Surrealism. Babysitter opens with a completely frenetic energy that only eases later in those moments of self-reflection, for both ourselves and Nadine (played by Monia Chokri, the director). In between the wacky opening and the thought-provoking third act, the film is mostly farcical, high-speed comedy. The actors all do a great job. Babysitter is an AK-47 assault weapon with dead-on aim at misogyny, toxic masculinity, and all things male of the hidden insecurities variety type. Given it's style and subject, all designed to make us uncomfortable, this film is not for everyone. But if you really don't have any of those male insecurities to act out, Babysitter is politically incorrect and f-in' hilarious. And let's be honest, it's a rare opportunity to watch a politically incorrect film - just like in the old days.
