Here's a small interesting movie from Brazil. It's the story of the family housekeeper who loves and raises the family child while her own daughter is raised elsewhere. Sparks fly when her daughter comes to stay with the family and doesn't know her place.
It is an interesting tale of class distinction told in a straight forward manner. The performances are solid from top to bottom. Perhaps the dog could have showed more interest as she was asleep or standing at the door to get off the set.
It's the kind of movie the critics will like. It subject matter doesn't feel raw enough for a major foreign language award nomination. It starts on the slow side and there are spots where the script had to rely on weather.
It's a small movie that will not get a broad distribution. Don't worry if you can't find it in a theater as it will play well on home formats.
