The Maid

I watched this movie not knowing what to expect. On the one hand I was excited because I heard some good stuff about it, but as always, I was a bit skeptical because it is an independent movie. No big studios behind it. And it was a really refreshing change from watching the over-fed Hollywood blockbusters, that in the late time, tend to look-alike.

I won't give away much, but it is about somewhat forbidden fruit, love that was not suppose to happen. Young guy with a bright future falls for an older maid. The maid recognized many similarities between her and the young boy, and he reminded her of her own forgotten hopes and dreams. On the other side, he found someone who understands him.

Can they make it, can their love stand the test of time? Well, I recommend you to go and watch this nice movie and enjoy in it, as I have enjoyed. I give it a 8/10!

BAD BAD BAD VERY BAD MOVIE!!!

If you want to lose 99 precious minutes of your life I recommend do anything else, NOT SEE THIS MOVIE !!

It's the worst I saw. The dialogue is ridiculous, sad performances and the story seems straight out of a bad , poor and cheap soap opera. It is impossible to empathize with the principal character.

I am so angry I did my user only to warn others innocent bystanders of this disaster , I can not believe that the film has 7.1 points and that 3 out of 4 reviews are positive

If there is a negative score would give -10 points this film, INCREDIBLY BAD !!

PS: apologize for my English, It is bad as the movie ;)

Things go downhill since the first minute with this one.

Supposedly is the story about the romance between a youngster and a mature woman, right? Well, the troubles start when the guy playing that spoiled and rude american teenager looks like a thirty-something and the same age of the titular "maid", who doesn't even look like a working woman at all but a socialité in her autumn holiday.

Oh, and when this guy is stalking her, taking photos for his self-pleasure and looking not-so-young at all, well, that's so creepy. That woman could hire a good attorney to sue him and his father (who at least isn't taking very seriously this thing and doesn't even try to do an acceptable performance and only recite his lines out of conviction) and won a huge amount of money .

A girl suddenly appears only to flirt with the thirty-something-like who reminds that meme whit that image of Steve Buscemi playing a private detective on 30 Rock disguised as a youngster wearing a backward cap carrying a skateboard. And that girl kinda looks maybe more attractive than the "maid".

And that score, like the rejected music of a dull soap opera.

Is a mistery why there is so many people who gave this more than 2 or 3 stars, this bore-fest isn't even funny to watch. It's like fanfiction penned by a basement-dweller incel.

Horrible, HORRIBLE waste of time.

You know the saying: Kill your father and ... well you know what your mother. Both being true here in a sense. Though the "mother" in this case is not literal since she is not in the picture (anymore) - no pun intended. The boy is quite annoying and self righteous - or at least he gave me that impression. Mayby it is "the acting" that makes me believe that.

One thing is for sure, if you think about watching this because you think or hope this is going to be titilating .. do not! There is some erotic flavor in this, but it does not warrant seeing this, if that is all you are after! This is more a drama about feelings, about innocense and about growing up - stepping into "manhood" ... blooming or whatever you want to call it. A decent enough effort if you are able to put some flaws aside (pacing, acting to name a few).

This is a classic story driven movie where the interaction of the actors is complimented by the stunning cinematography from Paul Emmanuel. This moving piece has the audiences trapped in the emotionally charged relationship of Jack and Maria and how they slowly unravel their troubled pasts. Having a great story isn't enough if the actors can't portray the characters and the delicate interactions between them. Both leads had great chemistry and watching them is like two dancers constantly intertwining and separating with graceful movements. The locations and scenery is beautiful; the English countryside and a perfect place for love to blossom.
