This is a interesting movie about immigration and class inequality between Spain and latin america. It,s a spanish indie low budget movie but this movie has plenty technical and narrative wonders proving again that a good and complete story doesn,t need a big budget to be entertaining. Emotionally this film is a tribute to women and immigrants around the world. The story of the central figure of the movie a latino maid keeps the attention of audiences all through film. The plot is interesting and modern it,s literally all about the maid her relationship with this spanish family and all the class unfair inequalities between them. It,s a compelling and interesting movie in many ways.

This is a character driven story surrounding a maid from Columbia who intersects with a wealthy family from Barcelona. Visually it is stunning, and entertaining with set-pieces and character motivations. I do believe the script could have used work, but for a first feature it is a solid effort. I really could see the transformation of Ana over the course of the film, but would have appreciated more complex characters. The crypto subplot was a nice touch, and interesting as well that the film was funded by NFTs. Some of the story beats were predictable, and I would have enjoyed a bit more surprises in terms of conflict. But overall, I am eager to see more from this director and these actors which handled the material with great skill.

This film reinforces many stereotypes that it should weaken, turning it into a story that moves among common places. Even so, it entertains and has a couple of very beautiful shots.

You can see that the director is a talented director, but a couple of adjustments in the script could have produced a film with satires and unforgettable moments, but instead, we only have the classic fable of those who work within the ruling class and economically wealthy.

And in a world where films like parasite already exist, it feels like a major setback.

P.s: The way they get the funds for the movie was a big hit.

I absolutely loved The Quiet Maid! This film is a hidden gem that blends subtlety with emotional depth in such a unique way. From the moment the story begins, I was drawn into the world of the protagonist, whose quiet, yet deeply profound journey had me hooked.

The performance of the lead actress is remarkable. She captures the complexity of her character, portraying vulnerability, strength, and quiet resilience with such grace. It's the kind of performance that stays with you long after the credits roll.

If you're someone who enjoys movies that are more contemplative and have a deep emotional undercurrent, The Quiet Maid is definitely a must-watch. Highly recommended!
