CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips	8	...funny and weirdly poignant...
New York Post V. A. Musetto	7	Flora is the hard- working woman who cleans my apartment every other week. After watching the Chilean film The Maid, I realize how lucky I am to have her. In fact, she's going to get a raise.
Slant Magazine Nick Schager	6	...the attempt to blend exaggerated humor with gritty, menacing drama laced with socio-economic tensions never quite gels.
Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum	9	...Catalina Saavedra conjures a performance of such unflinching intensity and naked bravery in The Maid that at times it's painful to watch.
