Audience Member sehr vorhersehbar. flache storyline Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A hidden gem in the Netflix instant streaming selection! An undocumented Mexican nanny named Margarita (NIcola Correia) for years has helped her employers with raising up their daughter Mali (M. Ritter), cook, clean, and even fix appliances and things around the home. Unfortunately tragedy strikes when her employers (a couple of doctors living in Toronto Canada) become find themselves about to lose their home and other assets due to bad investment decisions. Margarita's gf is a law student named Jane (C. Horne) who is unwilling to commit. Faced with job loss and deportation, the future of Margarita is at stake so what will happen...A lovely film, thought provoking in so many levels and bravo to the cast and crew for doing a fantastic job! Definitely recommended and I think many households would be lucky to have a nanny like Margarita because she is one of a kind! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Gay, beautiful, smart, Mexican Margarita seems to be the ultimate 21st century Mary Poppins seems to be the perfect nanny. Despite this, overwhelmed by their financial struggles, the family she works for reluctantly decides to fire her. At the same time, her closeted girlfriend refuses to take their relationship to the next level or even embrace her homosexuality in public. Her life gets suddenly more complicated after an accident reveals her as an illegal immigrant and authorities want to have her deported. Yes, Margarita could have been a very dark movie indeed but in the end Cardona and Colbert seem much more interesting in establishing a warmer and much more upbeat connection between the characters and the audience. This is also achieved through the very likeable performances by the cast, headed by an impressive Nicola Correia Damude in the titular character role. The result thankfully is not only charming but also credible and respectful of the serious themes it deals with. Perhaps more remarkably, however, is its genuinely funny sense of humour, hence avoiding of the biggest setbacks of the vast majority of similar films - straight or gay. It must also be noted that it's nice to see a good film with a lesbian lead character that doesn't end in tragedy, isn't surrounded by controversy or come across as blatant exploitation. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a pretty funny movie with a pretty good cast. At times it tried to manipulate the viewers emotions. It was amateurish as well but I don't care what people say. I actually liked it!
