We've seen plenty of stories about the arrival of a mysterious stranger upsetting the order of things. But "The Second Mother," Brazilian writer and director Anna Muylaert's outstanding film, is different.

Themes of classism and motherhood run deep as lines are crossed and characters maneuver their way through uncomfortable domestic situations.

The movie examines what it means to be a mother - is it a matter of proximity or of love? And what are we to do when those two pieces are at odds?

Rating: 3/4 --
The characters are so accustomed to keeping up appearances that they can't bring themselves to say what's bugging them. Their interactions may be mild, but the claustrophobic imagery creates the sense of being trapped in a powder keg.

The ending kind of ruined this film for me, but I still recommend watching. Regina Casé shines as Val and the rest of the cast is similarly superb.

All the elements of the story fit impeccably together for a humorous and occasionally wrenching examination of relationships.

The Second Mother doesn't look to solve the socioeconomic gap, but rather paints a very vivid picture of the senselessness behind it all. It's an intriguing and well-executed story from the perspective of the underprivileged characters.
