A woman feels she must fight to hold on to her place in the household where she's been a servant for much of her life in this drama from writer and director Sebastian Silva. Raquel (Catalina Saavedra) works as a maid for a well-to-do Chilean family, and has been with the household so long that she's come to think of herself as part of the family. However, Raquel is also aware of the distance between herself and her employers, and though she's fiercely devoted to Mundo Valdes (Alejandro Goic), his wife, Pilar (Claudia Celedón), and their son, Lucas (Agustín Silva), she finds herself increasingly at odds with their rebellious daughter, Camila (Andrea García-Huidobro). Years of hard and unrelenting work have begun to take their toll on Raquel, and Mundo decides she could use some help; he hires a young au pair, Mercedes (Mercedes Villanueva), to assist her, but Raquel refuses to allow anyone to usurp her role in any way, and treats the girl so horribly she soon quits. Unaware of the conflict between Raquel and Mercedes, Mundo hires an older and more experienced women to work with Raquel, Sonia (Anita Reeves), and it's not long before the two domestics are locked in a fierce battle of wills. La Nana (aka The Maid) received its American premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Movie Overview For La Nana (The Maid)
Raquel has been the live-in housekeeper for a kind, reasonably wealthy family for half her life, and the joyless repetition of the job has begun to take its toll. Increasingly dependent on painkillers, Raquel resorts to pranks and childish avoidance to antagonize the familyâ€™s college-age daughter and a procession of new servants, all in the hopes of protecting her precarious power within the home. Her antics successfully push everyone away, until new maid Lucy actually pushes back.

Review For La Nana (The Maid)

Deadpan, handheld technique allows director Sebastián Silva to mine mundane situations for subtle hazard but also to take his story in unexpected directions, initial reticence preserving the potential for surprise.
Ben Walters-Time Out

As unlikable -- and unstable -- as the character is, Saavedra finds a way for the audience to care about Raquel deeply and even to root for her to come out on top with her childish evil plots.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star

Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes unsettling, and always engrossing, The Maid is a domestic drama about the gulf that exists at impossibly close quarters between the worlds of upstairs and downstairs, the worlds of employer and household servant,
Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com

Fun for a while but increasingly tedious...
Tom Keogh-Seattle Times

The Maid is a small film but very sure, and extremely well-acted.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune

With a few brushstrokes, Sebastian Silva communicates the complicated social and moral dynamic involved in having a live-in maid.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle

Beware the psycho servant in Chilean Upstairs/Downstairs tale!
Don Groves-sbs.com.au

What might have been a condescending social-issue drama about oppressed servants or a shrill send-up of the ruling class instead becomes a carefully etched character study.
Jon Frosch-The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Sits compellingly between genres.
Sophie Ivan-Film4

Sebastian Silva's film is very finely decorated by Catalina Saavedra's loyal but self-destructive servant.
Derek Malcolm-This is London

A perceptive, empathetic character piece.
Philip Kemp-Total Film

Sebastián Silva's second feature is an exceptional study of the emotional investment that domestics make in the families they serve.
David Parkinson-Radio Times

Sebastián Silva's film is an unexpected combination: a gripping psychological thriller, and also a poignant human drama.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]

An extremely sharp portrayal of a complex family and individual dynamic.
Laurence Boyce-Little White Lies

A tart, thoroughly engaging and often suspenseful mixture of psychodrama and social satire...
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph

Saavedra's performance as Raquel is what matters, glittering with the hard sparkle of anthracite.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times

Silva defies the dictates of genre, preferring the complex verities of characterisation over predictable thrills.
Anton Bitel-MovieScope

Fascinating, humane and compellingly honest.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

The DVD is devoid of extras and banal looking at best, so a rental is more appropriate than a purchase.
Glenn Heath Jr.-Slant Magazine

Catalina Saavedra is superb as the prickly yet protective maid to a Chilean family in this very human comedy
Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com

Does a fine job of building expectations and then turning them sideways.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid

[N]ot just brutally sad: it's also surprisingly hopeful, and wonderfully unpredictable, and simply lovely...
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher

Is this two-dimensional, emotionally stunted and alienated character truly so lacking in any complexity, fascinating personal and cultural history of her own, or inner life? It seems so, until the workingclass can make their own movies about themselves.
Prairie Miller-NewsBlaze
