THE MAID

√ Bob Certified

   Be careful not to read too much about this gem from Chile because you don’t want to spoil the way director Sebastian Silva keeps you guessing about what’s going on in this tale of a maid—brilliantly played by Catalin Saavedra--who has been in the employ of a well-to-do family for most of her adult life. Even though things move slowly, a lot is going on in every frame. One of the year’s most memorable films.
