Flailing thirty-four-old Bridget (O’Sullivan) finally catches a break when she meets a nice guy and lands a much-need job nannying six-year-old Frances. But an unwanted pregnancy introduces an unexpected complication. She also has to navigate a growing tension between Frances’s moms. There are big laughs in the film as well as quiet moments. Saint Frances is funny, moving, human. Tonally delicate and loving towards every single one of its characters, it’s the kind of indie that gives indie movies a good name.
