“Pitched somewhere between dark comedy and melodrama, The Babysitters breaks rules. Like television’s Six Feet Under and the recent film Juno, it’s the perfect antidote to the dopey, butter-cream-frosted teen flicks of John Hughes—Pretty in Pink with poison sauce.

- Rex Reed, New York Observer”

“David Ross’ film is a completely refreshing look at a story you’ve likely heard and seen before (in the news, books or tv). The young star of The Babysitters, Katherine Waterston, is certainly one to watch in the coming years.

- Peter Sciretta, /Film”

“David Ross’s stylishly tawdry black comedy fits neatly between Heathers and American Beauty. The Babysitters Club this ain’t.
