The story of a maid (has anyone ever checked how she's doing?), in an affluent family, in Mexico. Pan shots (lots of pan shots) show this young maid, how she holds the family together, but is always in the corner, always in the background, without anybody acknowledging her existence, her qualms, her fight for survival. Alfonso Cuarón's most recent masterpiece (Gravity, Children of Men) had numerous moments that kept me thinking for days - culminating in an unbelievable beach sequence that defies you to hold back tears. Are we having a Mexican sweep at the Oscars again this year?
PS: Available on Netflix. Don't miss it.
