Ashling is every busy parent’s dream: a professional nanny with experience and a warm, sunny attitude. But from the moment Mary hires her to look after her young children, things start to feel just a little...off. Are Mary’s stressful work schedule and lack of sleep playing games with her own sanity, or has she welcomed an unstable troublemaker into her home?

A harrowing and hilarious psychological thriller whose sense of disquiet builds with each passing scene, Erica Schmidt’s Lucy is sure to disturb and delight parents and non-parents alike. After all, if you can’t even be sure what’s happening in your home when you’re away, what can you be sure of?

Overall, for free, it was good. The ending was just a huge let down. I have no idea what all that noise meant. Also, it seemed like they were trying to keep us guessing which one was crazy, the mom or the nanny...but they both just sounded neurotic. I'll have to put some of the blame on the narrators a bit because their performance was a little extra. Towards the end it seems like the blame is going to fall on Lucy. Once it was over, I have no idea what the plot was supposed to be and what the ending meant.

Started off good until the ending

This story made no sense in had no plot and an entirely lame ending. I am glad it was free because it’s not worth a dollar

Senseless

Good performance. Intriguing storyline. Just felt like it ended …and it wasn’t ready to end.

Hmm. It ended when it didn’t feel like it was supposed to end
