Still recovering from an abortion and struggling with her own self-doubts, Bridget is offered a nannying job in Evanston, IL, caring for precocious 6-year-old Frances. As she struggles in a battle of wills with her opinionated young charge and complicated relationships with Frances’ moms, Bridget learns more about herself and what it takes to be part of a family. This delightfully breezy award-winning film is a feel-good ode to growing up, motherhood, and the beauty of family.

 

"Both a beautifully specific character study and something that has resonance beyond the demographic of its cast." - RogerEbert.com

 

"The film has enough modest charms to connect with audiences similarly navigating the bridge between youthful detachment and grounded adulthood." - Hollywood Reporter
