The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Review: Hulu’s Underwhelming Psychological Thriller Needed To Delve Deeper Into Its Intriguing Ideas

Michelle Garza Cervera directs this film, written by Micah Bloomberg, which centers on Caitlyn (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a mother and lawyer. Caitlyn hires Polly (Maika Monroe) as a nanny, remembering Polly previously helped her with a problem involving her landlord. Maika Monroe’s performance immediately suggests something is off about Polly, though her reasons for taking the job, even with her reservations, aren’t fully explained until a key reveal later in the film.
