“The Chambermaid” by Lila Avilés (2018)

Top score: minorities (9)

A claustrophobic take on a routine and directionless life
Absence of action, repetitions, absence of variation in shots, in decor, in color, elements that are meant to build the message revealed in the last shot: a great cinematic exercise but not much more than that
