I saw The Maid's Room at the Hamptons Film Festival and loved it! I had no idea what to expect but was totally moved by this intense psychological thriller. It is an extremely riveting and powerful film that will haunt you long after you leave the theater. The acting was outstanding, featuring Paula Garces as Drina the maid, and a fabulous up and coming talent, Phillip Ettinger. Bill Camp and Annabella Sciorra, as Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, were outstanding as well. Each one of these performances was rich with conflict and emotion that made for a very gripping experience. The movie touches on important social issues but it is the conflict within and between each character that cause such dramatic turmoil and forces you to think more deeply about yourself once the film has ended. I love a movie that challenges me to examine myself and the world around me and this film does just that. I highly recommend seeing it.
