Babysitter

Babysitter (2022) is a Canadian-French dark comedy from director Monia Chokri, ready to watch online. After a crude on-camera joke goes viral, Cédric is fired overnight.

Hoping to "cure" his own sexism, Cédric and his partner start writing a confessional book about male guilt and hire a babysitter — strange, gleefully uninhibited, she scrambles the household far more than any therapy could. Patrick Hivon and Nadia Tereszkiewicz keep the whole thing teetering between farce and squirming discomfort.

Chokri turns men's shame and their clumsy attempts to "do better" into candy-colored, near-surreal satire. It lands for viewers who like their comedy sharp and a little uncomfortable. Stream Babysitter (2022) online on iFILM.
