The Chambermaid

[An] engrossing narrative feature debut by actor-turned-director Lila Avilés.

How the film counters its protagonist's ambitions makes for an alternately bleak and reverent experience, leaving us with an understanding of what "women's work" really means.

This is a very quiet and understated observational drama. It's not just quiet, but patient... It's also very compassionate.

Thanks to the efforts of writer/director Lila Aviles, it makes its fair share of points without spelling them out for the audience which makes it all the more admirable.
