Ben Kenigsberg
"The Maid's Room" has much to recommend, including the versatile Mr. Camp in a Machiavellian role. But it doesn't marshal its twists toward a convincing or satisfying conclusion.
Inkoo Kang
[A] sly, satisfying thriller about class, status and violence.
Andrew O'Hehir
"The Maid's Room" doesn't quite work, intriguing premise and all, and that the fault lies with Walker's labored script and wooden characterization.
Ronnie Scheib
After a seductively moody intro, Michael Walker's domestic thriller devolves into a cartoonish attack on the filthy rich.
Elizabeth Weitzman
It's admirable that writer/director Michael Walker wanted to make a socially conscious thriller. But surely he didn't have to replace all the thrills with broadly moralizing messages.
Abby Garnett
There must be a compelling thriller to be made about immigration and domestic servitude, but The Maid's Room isn't it.
