The Maid

Chilean writer and director Sebastián Silva pays homage to domestic help in this drama. The story about a maid who has dedicated most of her adult life to a family when she sees her position threatened at the arrival of competition. Catalina Saavedra dives into the part with all of its color, sometimes heartbreaking, menacing or hilarious as a woman fighting for her territory. Silva hits all the right notes and keeps the tension with a universal story full of humor. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
