"Inspired and arresting, The Maids is unsavory and seductive, making us all somewhat suspect, like people watching other people watch other people have sex."
- New Haven Review, Donald Brown
"The Maids made me feel disappointment, liberation, confusion and, ultimately, plain appreciation. I walked out with a sense of surrender. I suppose art, like human nature, is to be marveled at with a reflective innocence, rather than be understood with a clinical arrogance. So, go and indulge your mind in the beauty of the unknown and the uncertain."
