Maid (2021)

Eine amerikanische Netflix-Miniserie, die auf Stephanie Lands Roman ,, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive" aus dem Jahr 2019 basiert. Alexs Leben ist nie einfach gewesen, da die Ehe ihrer Eltern von Gewalt geprägt worden ist. Alexs Mutter gerät nach ihrer Scheidung in eine Lebenskrise. Sie vermacht ihrem eigentümlichen Freund ihr Haus, während sie nun in einem Van am Rande der Stadt lebt und sich nun voll und ganz ihrer Kunst und ihrem Drogenkonsum widmet. Alex Vater lebt mit seiner neuen Familie fernab von seiner ältesten Tochter. Alex gerät früh in eine Beziehung, die der Ehe ihrer Eltern sehr nahe kommt. Alexs Freund Sean terrorisiert seine Freundin und ihre gemeinsame Tochter Maddy auf täglicher Basis mit seinen spontanen Wutausbrüchen und seinem Alkoholkonsum.

Eines Nachts beschließt sie, ihrem Elend zu entkommen: Sie packt ihre Sachen, nimmt ihre Tochter und verlässt Sean, während er noch schläft. Was nun beginnt, ist ein ewiges Pendeln zwischen zeitweiligen Unterkünften in Frauenhäusern und bei Freunden, Putzjobs und Seans bösartigen Versuchen, sie und Maddy mithilfe seiner Anwälten zurückzugewinnen. Das Putzen sichert ihren Lebensunterhalt und ist ein gefundenes Futter für ihren seelischen Zusammenbruch, sei es durch ihre schwierigen Kunden oder die körperliche Belastung.

Ihrer Tochter zuliebe gibt Alex nie auf und macht wieder, egal, wie aussichtslos die Situation scheint, in der sie sich befindet. (7/10)

Who would you say is one of the best people you met in your career?

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some of the most wonderful creative minds in my time. I’d have to go with my good friend Sofia Coppola, my husband Jack Antonoff, Claire Denis, and Molly Smith Metzler.

Margaret's Watch List

[julyshewillfly]

"Still, Maid retains the most important element of Land’s writing: a hard-won knowledge of our threadbare social safety net and its gaping holes, rooted in the author’s first-hand experience. When Alex impulsively decides to leave her emotionally abusive boyfriend, she doesn’t have a plan, a mistake that proves near fatal. Almost instantly, she runs headfirst into the endless Catch-22 of American life. To qualify for food stamps or housing vouchers, she needs to prove she has a job; to get a job, she needs access to child care; to pay for child care, she needs a source of income. With no physical injuries or prior police reports, the state of Washington doesn’t consider Alex a victim of domestic violence, so she doesn’t either—making it difficult to even seek help, let alone receive it. And even the shelter she eventually turns to can do only so much.

Some of Maid’s best scenes show the sheer drudgery of navigating bureaucracy, a decidedly uncinematic enterprise Maid dresses up with the aforementioned fantasies. Many recent portraits of life below the poverty line, including Oscar darlings like Nomadland and The Florida Project, focus on the beauty to be found in the struggle for survival. Maid is just about the struggle. Montage by montage, Alex acquaints herself with a flood of acronyms, piecing together subsidies and the housecleaning gigs that give the show its name into a semblance of independent life. But without spoiling the story’s twists and turns, Alex’s path is not a linear one. Inertia is a powerful force, and there’s far more that works to keep the underclass where they are than tries to help them out."

Maid (prod. Molly Smith Metzler).

Netflix’s limited series inspired by Stephanie Land’s bestselling memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive is an unflinching portrait of overcoming the hurdles of poverty. In a quietly powerhouse performance, Margaret Qualley plays a young mother trying to escape domestic abuse with her young daughter while navigating the obstacles of low-income housing in Washington state and other indignities she faces in lifting herself out of increasingly dire situations.

What’s most (intentionally) frustrating yet engrossing about the miniseries is its precision in dramatizing all the bureaucratic details of the welfare system while also coming to terms with passed down trauma from a family history of violence, mental illness, and general grief. It impressively resists exploiting the poor by layering the day-to-day moments of being dropped into specific precarious circumstances.

Recensie Maid (serie) ★★★1/2 - te zien op @NetflixFilm Margaret Quelley speelt met de volle overtuiging de alleenstaande moeder Alex. Het bureaucratische systeem helpt haar voor geen meter, maar gelukkig is het een powervrouw. #Maid
