The film starts with the text "based on true practises". Despite the radiance and loveliness of the movie, this line sticks with you, preparing you for an unavoidable climax in which things are not as pleasant as they seem.
Maya is a movie with an absolutely incredible scenery and cinematography. Beautiful Landscapes and sunsets create an almost serene silence in between the various scenes. Lighting and color are excellent and create an environment in which you can feel the warm climate. Scenes, sometimes slow but never boring, are kept light with subtle but effective humourous moments.
I found Maya a refreshing and overall quite light movie that deals with a heavy subject, revealed towards the end of the film. Just the crisp image, vivid colors and stunning soundtrack alone already make this movie worth watching. However, its subtle screenplay,gradually revealing a shocking truth is what really makes Maya a small gem.
Perhaps characters and attitudes are too black and white; metaphors are a bit heavyhanded; and there is little nuance, but this film has considerable qualities too - not least that it tackles an important and current issue - and does it well.
