The Maid

Everyday life/Society, Mexico/Chile 2009

When her mistress brings on another servant to help with the chores, a bitter and introverted maid wreaks havoc on the household. "In only his second feature, Silva, along with co-writer Pedro Peirano, evinces a penetrating perception of character motivations and social situations, as well as a darkly amusing sense of humor. By drawing impressively nuanced performances from the actors, he continually maintains Raquel’s opportunity for redemption just out of reach" (Justin Lowe - The Hollywood Reporter).
