Description

Ray wrestles with how he sees himself when he becomes a pawn in his parent’s bitter divorce. His mother, a struggling actress who married a successful film director, has grown accustomed to their L.A. lifestyle; but now, this lifestyle is threatened and depends on Ray’s custody decision. Ray’s mother hires a babysitter, Anjelika, who quickly fills the voids in everyone’s lives. Ray and Anjelika quickly form a bond—but their entanglement is poised to jeopardize Ray's mother's master plan.

    I was a little hesitant to see this at first, but it won me over. Very good acting and the story was pretty unique. Great stuff.

    It's a rare thing these days to see a festival-hyped indie film by a new director actually live up to its praise. In my opinion Babysitter is right on the mark. I have to admit I'm kind of a sucker for coming-of-age indie flicks and while Babysitter fits that billing, it manages to do so without feeling overly derivative or templated like so many films in the genre. Its subtle yet potent, flippant yet insightful and, perhaps most important of all, highly relatable. Long and the short of it is you should watch this film.
