Immigrant thriller ‘Nanny’ wins top prize at Sundance

Starring Anna Diop and Michelle Monaghan, Nikyatu Jusu’s debut feature portrays the sacrifices Senegalese nanny Aisha makes to leave her home country and young son behind in order to build a new life.

Sundance, which celebrates independent cinema, was forced to go virtual for a second year running by the surge in COVID-19 cases across the United States driven by the Omicron variant. The separate audience prize for best drama went to Cha Cha Real Smooth, starring Dakota Johnson as an older, engaged woman who strikes up a flirtatious relationship with a directionless recent graduate — played by writer-director Cooper Raiff.
