“'The Maid' has that particular gift of leaving you off balance in the best possible way, and whenever something like that comes around you owe it to yourself to check it out.”~Los Angeles Times

Aroview: The complex emotional attachment of a loyal live-in maid to the family she's served for more than twenty years is at the heart of this sly, suspenseful domestic drama, which quietly simmers away thanks largely to Catalina Saavedra's unnervingly deadpan performance.
