Nanny Culture delights the critics and media in the UK
The Emirati documentary Nanny Culture will be screened at the Regent Street cinema in London on Friday, 18 November 2016. Recently, the film was also screened at Everyman and Lexi cinemas.
The documentary, partly mockumentary allured the film critics and media in London offering their thoughts by writing reviews in well known online magazines for art, music, fashion, cinema & theater like:
“Nanny Culture is a charming and insightful documentary.”
“Therefore, this documentary certainly comes as a recommended watch as it gives rare insight into a private world and dispels any ignorance and misconceptions associated with it, allowing us to appreciate and understand ways of life that we not be all that familiar with, delivered to us in a clever narrative style as we are equally as new and strange to this world as Julie is and learn with her.
”It is funny and educational, emotional and awkward. “
(by Mirek Gosney – The Edge, UK)
“There’s certainly messages and lessons on multiculturalism and class structure that can be taken from this story and it’s all very fascinating”
(by Kristian Mitchell Dolby – Fan Carpet, UK)
“Nanny Culture, a truly original documentary that lifts the lid on the private yet rapidly expanding world of the professional nanny in the UAE, affording viewers an incredible insight into the everyday lives of wealthy families in the UAE and the “help” that keeps things running.”
“It is certainly not a documentary in the traditional sense, but for its odd moments, Nanny Culture does open a window onto a world rarely seen. Culture clashes (“Can you believe she tried to shake my hand?”) and eye-opening trips out to the market and camel races all serve to intrigue and interest viewers and give a taste of what truly lies in store for a British nanny moving farther afield.”

The film Nanny Culture is produced by Anasy Media, a concept idea of SheIkha Alyazia Bint Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan and directed by Paul James Driscoll.
The story revolves around an Emirati family (Mohammed Al Hammadi) who temporarily hire the services of a British nanny to help them organize their children’s daily activities and study schedules. The plot is centered on interactivity and friction between the children and nanny, as she guides them to change their daily routine and habits.
The camera amusingly depicts the emotions and sentiments revealing the relation between the nanny, children and their parents, besides her relation with the other domestic helpers in the house. The documentary shows glances of the Emirati culture of acceptance of other nationalities and their unique way of life. It also indicates how the other nationalities see the Emirati culture and to what extent they could interact and coexist with each other in harmony.
