Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
[A] simply told, but emotionally robust movie.
It paints a lovely, intimate portrait of a complex relationship and shows a side of Latin American life we rarely see on American screens.
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.
Live-In Maid is a modest chamber piece enriched by its affecting human harmonies and overtones.
