Live-In Maid

An Argentinean drama about a woman and her maid, showing how their lives have been affected by the changes in society and the economy in recent years. It's like "Arrested Development," with Lucille Bluth and Lupe, but it's not funny since it's hard to feel bad for a woman whose eyes have never stung from the sweet sweat of a hard day's work. The rich woman comes across like Blanche from "A Streetcar Named Desire," which is odd because the actress looks like the woman from "All About My Mother" who acted in "A Streetcar Named Desire." If this were an American movie, it would be about how the two come to appreciate the other and everyone would be likeable and it'd be as terrible as "Spanglish." But it's not like an American movie, so it's good.
