A film directed by Monia Chokri written by Catherine Léger based on her play Babysitter
Cédric loses his job at Ingénerie Québec after making a sexist joke that goes viral. Encouraged by his brother, a right-thinking intellectual, Cédric begins therapy and writes Sexist Story, a book that aims to be revolutionary and attacks misogyny. Nadine, exasperated by her boyfriend’s introspection, herself lacking dreams and adrenaline, then lets herself be tempted by the surprising games initiated by the mysterious babysitter. Adapted from the play, the comedy Babysitter delves even further into the unconscious, the desire to dominate others and the drift of the couple.
« Unashamedly embracing genre cinema, to develop an astonishing cinematic premise on modern societal issues. » CINEMANIAK
★★★★
« Destabilizing, daring and uncomfortable at times (especially during one particular scene), Babysitter is anything but a complacent film. It certainly makes us think about the uncontrollable and irrational aspect of desire. » LA PRESSE
« Carried by dialogues which happily challenge sexual stereotypes, Babysitter will not leave anyone indifferent. » LE DEVOIR
« Approached with humor and lightness, the themes of misogyny, feminism and couple intimacy are at the heart of Babysitter. » RADIO-CANADA
