Really Surprised!

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I read the synopsis of this film and thought it sounded good. It started of well and I recorded it and couldn't wait to see it. So I snuggled down to watch this on a Saturday night with my husband and I have to say it's one of the worst films I've ever seen. And believe me I've seen quite a few bad films but this one tops it all. Boring and stupid and insulting to the viewers is the only way to describe this. At the beginning I had high hopes and it looked really promising but after about half an hour I realised that this is total rubbish. Don't waste your time folks. Complete utter nonsense with the most stupid ending possible. We have wasted 95 minutes of our lives that we will never get back. Such a pity as I said it started of looking good.

This is my first review because I saw other reviews unfairly bash this title. This movie breathes classic filmography, with haunting sound sequences, intriguing art direction, good story pace, and excellent dramatic acting by indie actors. The story will not offer you something "new", what I mean to say is: the plot is plausible in the real world, and most likely similar situations have happened. The actors were believable because the plot is believable and what makes the plot come alive is that the reactions of the characters lead them to commit acts that only twisted, and strange people may commit. That is where most of entertainment of watching this feature will come from and I had an absolute blast watching this film. The characters evolve emotionally over the course of the film and the sense of despair that they go through is portrayed in a way that is reachable to the audience and it all leads to a finale that is subdued yet very satisfying. This movie deserves a much better rating than it has and I again, underscore the work of the writer / director who lays out thought provoking dialog, and whose personal touch with the art direction could be clearly revealed throughout the movie, adding a moody sense to a very thoughtful, and well produced film.

Waste of time. Amateur story/screen writing/music/directing. Thriller? You gotta be kidding! All predictable cliché. Not worth the release in theaters or DVD rental. I was hoping for a certain twist to the plot. But the story just keeps dragging until at the very end you are left wondering what the production team was thinking when they made this movie. This is more of a story in the newspaper, sad but not worth turning into a feature film. I'm giving it 2 stars for the effort. The main characters are all badly acted. Any college student studying filming would have just as easily directed and written this script. You're better off watching reruns of past hits.

I saw The Maid's Room at the Hamptons Film Festival and loved it! I had no idea what to expect but was totally moved by this intense psychological thriller. It is an extremely riveting and powerful film that will haunt you long after you leave the theater. The acting was outstanding, featuring Paula Garces as Drina the maid, and a fabulous up and coming talent, Phillip Ettinger. Bill Camp and Annabella Sciorra, as Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, were outstanding as well. Each one of these performances was rich with conflict and emotion that made for a very gripping experience. The movie touches on important social issues but it is the conflict within and between each character that cause such dramatic turmoil and forces you to think more deeply about yourself once the film has ended. I love a movie that challenges me to examine myself and the world around me and this film does just that. I highly recommend seeing it.
