Greta (Lauren Cohen) is running from an abusive ex and takes a job as a nanny in England. She is surprised to find that Brahms is actually a porcelain doll. The couple's real child died in a fire over 20 years ago. But Greta begins to suspect that there is a life to the doll, some sort of spirit animating it. She sees it as a way to move past her own tragedy. Then her ex (Ben Robson) shows up.
The twist is... not twisty. You'll figure it out pretty quickly, if you haven't already guessed it. It's not terrible, mostly because Cohen is a very good actress and co-star Rupert Evans is very charming, but it's not great. Definitely not worth watching a second time and I feel zero desire to give the sequel a chance. It's currently streaming on Netflix if you want something on in the background that's thematic but you don't have to really pay attention and you're not in the mood for The Great British Bake-Off.
