A mother is tired of taking care of her out of control autistic son. Her and her husband hire a nanny and first all goes well but then Diana starts noticing that her nanny seems to turn her son against her as well as poisoning her.
A lot of times one just gets frustrated with the mother as she doesn't do things that could help her prove her point. Like keep the app and show the translations to the friend who recommended it, she would believe it. Film some of the conversations and show to somebody. Take that tea she gives you and bring to the doctor to be tested for hallucinogens. But then one sees a way around it, she is a stressed pregnant woman who can't think of good ways out clearly.
I saw unfair reviews to it. Mainly from American far lefts calling it ableist and xenophobic. Well, autism is not always high functional and many parents do indeed struggle a lot, why hide them? And foreign language was important for this movie.
The main issue is indeed that the ending doesn't explain everything. But for me it was enough. We just see that her worries were justified. Why it happened isn't really necessary to know.
The acting was great. Daniela Ramírez gave us a top performance as the main character. We see her love for her son and yet worry that the second kid will be the same. Her feeling like she has no way to solve the issue with her husband not taking her seriously and not being able to control her kid. Aida who played Luz was also good. There isn't that much in the character but she did it perfect for us not to guess if she is good or evil. And this is her only role.

A well done suspense thriller
Adorable...
Adorable Chilean production, film with autists attract me, they made a very dark and cute horror / suspense theme, and that final, very insane, too favorable, charmingly Machiavellian, for lovers of the genre, there is no way not to fall in love, involving, captivating, the nanny so simple and selfless, light and fun...
No logic and stupid ending
This movie is irritating and has a really stupid ending. No logic and unacceptable... Mother never opened about the doctors blood test results to anyone. Husband sparking ruthlessly with a pregnant wife supporting a 3rd person, Even after knowing old lady's intention, mother never tried to get out of the house and with her friend and above all she never visits the doctor for the last 40 minutes of the movie.
