Netflix: a future star of Game of Thrones is hidden in this film which is a hit on the platform

Netflix subscribers discover or rediscover the film Nanny McPhee as a family, a very well-acted tale with an artistic direction that fits the genre perfectly without falling too far into caricature. If you haven’t yet, go see it, you won’t regret it.

And if you prefer reading, here’s everything you need to know about the children’s books that inspired the film

The film opens with Mr. Brown (Colin Firth), a widower having difficulty managing his seven children, who make his life hell. Furthermore, this father lives under pressure because his work is more and more demanding and he must remarry as quickly as possible if he does not want to lose the financial help of Aunt Adelaide. One fine day, Nanny McPhee arrives, who will try to restore order to all this.

If the beginnings are reminiscent of a sort of Mary Poppins without the songs, Nanny McPhee is better than that and deserves that you rediscover it! First of all for the incredible makeup work which completely makes us forget the actress Emma Thompson, who plays Nanny. She is also the screenwriter of the film, and is based on the children’s books by author Christianna Brand.

It offers a real adventure film with a magical atmosphere which is ideal for a short cinema session at home. Because if Nanny can be scary, she very quickly becomes the ally of the entire Brown family, and young spectators will quickly be won over!

Fans of the Labyrinth trilogy will be able to recognize among Mr. Brown’s children a very young Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who would later play Newt in the saga, and Jojen Reed (Bran’s guide) in Game of Thrones.
