A film directed by Monia Chokri and written by Catherine Léger after her play Baby-sitter
Cédric loses his job at Ingénérie Québec after making a sexist joke that goes viral. Encouraged by his intellectual brother, Cedric starts therapy and writes Sexist Story, a book that aims to be revolutionary and attack misogyny. Nadine, exasperated by her boyfriend’s introspection and herself in need of dreams and adrenalin, is tempted by the amazing games initiated by the mysterious babysitter. Adapted from the play, the comedy Baby-sitter plunges even deeper into the unconscious, the desire to dominate the other and the drift of the couple.
★★★★ ” Unashamedly embracing genre cinema, to elaborate an astonishing cinematic postulate on modern societal issues. “ CINEMANIAK
“Unsettling, daring and uncomfortable at times (especially during one scene in particular), Babysitter is anything but a self-indulgent film. It certainly makes us think about the uncontrollable and irrational aspect of desire.” THE PRESS
“Carried along by dialogue that happily shakes up sexual stereotypes, Babysitter will leave no one indifferent.” LE DEVOIR
“Tackled with humor and lightness, the themes of misogyny, feminism and the intimacy of the couple are at the heart of Babysitter.” RADIO-CANADA
