Reviews

An eerily atmospheric, poignant, disquieting movie about 21st-century luxury and the invisible servant class required to maintain it.

Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

A painfully astute observational drama.

Monica Castillo, RogerEbert.com

AvilÃ©s's disconcerting film takes us from the starched suites to the service lifts, laundries and back corridors hidden from view.
