The Chambermaid

Cast
Gabriela Cartol
Teresa Sánchez

Crew
Directed by Lila Avilés


A young maid at a luxurious Mexico City hotel confronts the monotony of long workdays with quiet examinations of forgotten belongings and budding friendships that nourish her newfound and determined dream for a better life.

Reviews

"Winningly grounded. A compassionate tribute to Mexico’s anonymous laboring classes."

– John Hopewell, Variety

"Formally confident and technically polished. Avilés is an exciting find."

– Dan Sallitt, MUBI

"Possessed of a deadpan wit and downplayed humanistic warmth... and a poised lead performance by Gabriela Cartol. It will mark Avilés as a name to watch."

– Jonathan Romney, Screen International

"Nuanced and natural, it has a quiet and modest power as it comments on the ironies of contemporary cities like Mexico City and their growing economic divide."

– John Fink, The Film Stage
