A teenager turns her babysitting service into a call-girl service for married guys after fooling around with one of her customers.
At 17, high-school junior Shirley Lyner is thinking about college and running a babysitting service that provides teen call girls to the dads of young children. In a long flashback, we see what brought her from being a babysitter to organizing and running the service. It starts with Michael, the father of children she baby-sits. Shirley can be ruthless, and tension builds when some of the clients take the girls to a mountain cabin and bring drugs. Then, one of the girls tries to freelance. Can this end well: is it a tragedy in the making? Do we all have secrets?
“Katherine Waterston gives a remarkable performance in this edgy black comedy-drama. To an astonishing degree, Waterston reveals such subtle emotional changes in numerous scenes that one realizes she’s inherited the acting chops of her peerless father.” – TV Guide Magazine
“Engaging in no small part because of the beguiling and enigmatic performance of Waterston.” – LA Times
“The Babysitters is a heavy, difficult drama about lives spiraling out of control when things are taken way too far. The film creates some heavy tension and structural uncertainty that comes to a head in a challenging finale that rounds the movie into a solid little experience.” – Blu-ray.com
