Live-in Maid

The small, well-acted chamber drama is a genre that has virtually disappeared from American screens, which is too bad when you see one as accomplished as Live-in Maid. Powered by two first-rate performances, Jorge Gaggero’s debut feature is full of psychological nuance and keen social observation. It’s an impressive feat and one that should find an audience in art houses worldwide.
– JAMES GREENBERG, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

The film gives an intimate portrait of a complex 30-year relationship and shows a side of Latin America rarely seen in the U.S. – – Live-in Maid explores the emotional side of the reality of two societies living in very close, often intimate, proximity without dwelling on the politics or resorting to polemic. It paints a lovely, intimate portrait of a complex relationship – –. Despite marked socioeconomic differences, on a macro level, everyone is in the same boat.
