With their mistress away, two maids act out their darkest fantasies about Madame, their abusive “influencer” employer. They obsessively role play all day long, to the point of “murdering” her, until performance and reality begin to blur. Williams’ contemporary take is a timely parable about modern identity and the destructive desire to both emulate and annihilate those we idolize.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Maids
The Miads
8 / 10
Visually, it reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey’s “Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite,” Dave Bowman’s POV as he hurtles down a trippy cosmic corridor. Yes, we all have a simpering, dutiful servant in our back pocket, and yes, like HAL 9000, it wants to destroy us. But does our death have to be so sexless, so brainless, so easy on the eyes?
Video Killed The Maids
7 / 10
Williams’s cine-theatre is an interesting device, but what’s more compelling as a viewer is the way in which human desire and action gets distorted or revealed through these technical whirls. Use a video camera all you want, but wield it with intention. Don’t make the screen an end unto itself.
