Live-In Maid Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Amy Taubin
A small triumph the debut feature by Argentine filmmaker Jorge Gaggero depicts the effect of Argentina's economic meltdown on the relationship between a formerly wealthy businesswoman and her servant of 30 years.

Louis Proyect
Incisive study of class relationships between a pauperized would-be aristocratic woman and the maid who is increasingly ready to break free.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
Live-in Maid is a study of two women who appear not to like each other very much, yet their link makes for a moving drama about friendship.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
[A] simply told, but emotionally robust movie.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
It paints a lovely, intimate portrait of a complex relationship and shows a side of Latin American life we rarely see on American screens.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
From the rooms and spaces which house the two women to the slow unraveling of their history together, Live In Maid is a wonder of economic storytelling.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A vivid portrait of a society in the midst of wrenching change, but it transcends its immediate context to become a thoughtful, even unforgettable, chamber piece, performed with exquisite subtlety by two fine actresses.
San Francisco Chronicle
Steven Winn
Live-In Maid is a modest chamber piece enriched by its affecting human harmonies and overtones.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Even if I knew how things turned out in Live-In Maid, a fine Argentinean film with English subtitles, I wouldn't give away the ending.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Live-in Maid is a fascinating directorial exercise in observing characters whose long history together is coming to an end.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Writer-director Gaggero shoots for a kind of docu-realism, with a few overtly cinematic interludes, like one well-paced split-screen sequence.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
They [Aleandro and Argentina] take what could be clichd characters and turn them into living, breathing people that viewers can care about.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Weary and overworked to her very bones, Dora nevertheless has a heart of gold and a spine of steel. The movie does, too.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The actresses bring warmth and complexity to their stock roles, magnifying class struggle through their intriguing back-and-forths.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
...it's a wrenching, often painful comedy with its roots in Bergman and Bresson and Chekhov, as well as in the extremely unfunny condition of the Argentine economy. Not a shot or a sentence or a line is wasted.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
First-time filmmaker Jorge Gaggero manages to distill a remarkable quantity of poetic gold and psychological truth from this simplest of set-ups, peeling away the shared history of these women with brief but telling snippets of information.
The Hollywood Reporter
James Greenberg
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.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Live-In Maid, Jorge Gaggero's remarkably assured first film, examines the complicated relationship between an upper-class Buenos Aires woman and her housekeeper.
Variety
Deborah Young
A fairly successful attempt at satire, though given the subject, there's a lot of darkness under the carpet.
Village Voice
Julia Wallace
A film of startling insight and grace.
