Second Mother, The

Second Mother, The

Drama

When the estranged daughter of a hard-working live-in housekeeper suddenly appears, the unspoken class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray.


The critical consensus

Anna Muylaert’s close setting cleverly lends itself to broader reflections on tradition, but Casé makes the story sing. Utterly convincing.

****(*)Empire Online, 31/08/2015

Warm and wonderfully cheeky Brazilian satire, featuring a star turn from Regina Casé.

****(*)Emma Simmonds, The List, 31/08/2015

Anna Muylaert is a smart and passionate filmmaker.

****(*)Katherine McLaughlin, Little White Lies, 03/09/2015

The delicate relationship between employer and servant is skilfully subverted and scrutinised in this funny, serious study of class in modern-day Brazil.
