9/10
Simple yet very heart-warming gem of French cinema.
23 September 2017
I absolutely adored this film.

I didn't have much of an expectation when I started watching this film but by 5th minute, I had a smile on my face and I knew I was absolutely going to love this film, and I did.

This film is very straight-forward plot-wise. Spanish housekeepers in a French building and their relationship with the owner of the building. But it is undoubtedly one of the most heart-warming and happy films I have ever watched.

The women are simply brilliant and all the actresses did an amazing job. Fabrice Luchini is also not any less when in comparison, we can really see all the actors and actresses embraced their roles and had fun while shooting.

It also really captures the clash of the two cultures and the vibe of those years. It does not forget the historical events that had happened and how it effected these people and shows the believes and culture of both French and Spanish people.

I thought it was a brilliant film and I added to my favorites list immediately. I am sure that I will watch it again and probably again in the next years.

If you like a heart-warming, simple yet brilliant film, this is for you.

9/10.
