| Box Office Mark Keizer What reads like a cheapie slasher flick about a domestic servant with territory issues is actually a minutely observed chamber piece about class division and personal awakening. | 10 |  |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson Tight direction and smart performances give heft to what’s essentially a modest character study. A rich vein of black comedy also makes The Maid more than a cautionary tale for the nouveau riche. | 10 | |
