Nanny McPhee

CriticsCritics: 67
AudienceAudience: 6.8

A grieving widower hires a mysterious nanny to manage his seven unruly children, who have driven away every previous caregiver. Using unusual powers and firm lessons, she brings order to the household while the family faces pressure from a demanding relative who could separate them.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy warm, quirky family fantasies such as Mary Poppins Returns or Matilda; Not for you if you prefer subtle realism, complex plots, or less old-fashioned storytelling.
