Introduction
I’ve seen the rating before I clicked on this movie. I was hoping to find something worth praising in this movie, but all I got was a caseload of questions in my mind.
Plot/Storyline
Tom and Marry were a happy couple blessed with two kids. Marry was having a hard time finishing her novel due to writer’s block, so she decides to take a break from her parental responsibilities and hires a nanny, Grace. After a few days, Marry falls for the Nanny and her life starts taking big turns.
Confusing Plot
The plot left me with so many questions. First of all, Tom and Marry were a happy couple, right? They have two kids and they are holding an eerie thing pretty fine, then Grace comes as a nanny to their kids and Marry falls for her? I mean seriously? How come you fall for the same gender in your office, college, or school? (Of course, if you are not Gay or a Lesbian) I don’t know about you but I’m not unaware of my sexuality, especially if I have two kids and successful marriage.
And by the way, was Marry seducing Grace, or was the one getting seduced? This was the question Marry was asking herself in the movie and this is exactly the same question I am asking after I’ve gone through each second of the movie. That’s not only it, later Marry’s husband Tom also falls for the hot nanny too and a bit later we’re told in the movie that he was hallucinating.
Anti-climax climax
I would like you to assure me that I’m not giving any spoilers. Even if I were, you should not care. Watch the trailer and you’ll be guessing the whole plot by yourself. But there is always a bunch of people who watch the movie anyway, so for their sake, I’m not spoiling the plot for you.
The climax or, I’d like to call it Anit-climax leaves us with a question, who was that walking outside of the hospital? Was that Grace or was that married? If it was Grace then how the hell did she get out from a mental hospital that soon, is there even a tad bit of attention to detail given to the story? Honestly, the film is only good where there are erotic scenes it in. During those scenes, the film felt alive and the film completely vanishes away in the last 15 minutes. Boring Ending.
Verdict
I didn’t like it. Way too much confusion for me to handle.
