THE CHAMBERMAID (2019) Rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. Mexico’s entry in the best international feature category at the Academy Awards centers on a maid at a high-rise hotel in Mexico City. The movie follows that maid, Eve (Gabriela Cartol), through her day-to-day life, including a friendship; a romance; and a window into the lives of guests, who leave behind pieces of themselves in the form of books, bloodstains and more. The film was directed by Lila Avilés, and is a “quietly stunning debut feature,” A.O. Scott wrote in his review for The New York Times. “Avilés approaches Eve’s inner life with frank and tactful sympathy, and depicts her circumstances with unsentimental clarity,” he added. “The film’s style is austere — there are few camera movements and no musical score — but its visual wit and emotional sensitivity lift it above the minimalist miserablism that drags down so many well-meaning films about modern workers. After you’ve seen it, the world looks different.”
