Frequently described in the same glowing terms as Alfonso Cuaron’s thematically similar Oscar winner Roma Lila Aviles‘ directorial debut explores the class disparity in modern-day Mexico through the story of Eve (a fabulously nuanced performance by Gabriela Cartol) – a conscientious young working class mother who works as a chambermaid in a sleek luxury hotel.
It’s “an eerily atmospheric, poignant, disquieting movie about 21st-century luxury and the invisible servant class required to maintain it,” reckoned The Guardian.
