Film - The Maid
A family’s long-serving and diligent maid evidently resents attempts to integrate her more into household celebrations, and actively resists the introduction of some assistance when her health begins to suffer.
‘An exceptional study of the emotional investment that domestics make in the families they serve … Saavedra is mesmerising as she shifts from subservient to scheming, with Silva’s delicate touch ensuring that she remains sympathetic.’ – David Parkinson, Radio Times Guide to Films
