Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 10/10 by James GreenbergPowered by two first-rate performances, Jorge Gaggero's debut feature is full of psychological nuance and keen social observation.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Carina ChocanoWhat Live-in Maid offers is a pitch-perfect observation of life on a continent where forms are adhered to, distances aren't really kept, and your best friend is the person who knows to pour the cheap domestic whiskey into the empty bottle of imported stuff before your bridge buddies show up to judge you.
AV Club - 9/10 by Noel MurrayLive-In Maid's premise would be ideal for a play, or a bravura performance piece like Rainer Werner Fassbinder's "The Bitter Tears Of Petra Von Kant."
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Maria GarciaGaggero's vision is gentle and optimistic and, like all things which come upon us slowly and gracefully, it possesses an undeniable verisimilitude.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoLow-key yet has a lot to say about class struggle.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanWeary and overworked to her very bones, Dora nevertheless has a heart of gold and a spine of steel. The movie does, too.
Wall Street Journal - 8/10 by Joe MorgensternA fine Argentinean film with English subtitles.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Steven WinnLive-In Maid is a modest chamber piece enriched by its affecting human harmonies and overtones.
Baltimore Sun - 8/10 by Michael SragowLive-In Maid is a lived-in movie. Its cataclysms may be small in scale, but the movie brings us so far into these women's lives that a shattered cup creates an earthquake.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekAs a character study it carries a quiet, almost serene dramatic power as well as a strong current of dark humor.
