Lime & Vinegar

I did not know anything about it before, so I just sat down and watched. After 10 minutes I was totally engaged and forgot I was watching a movie, I became fully involved in the lives of the characters. It helped that the acting was very good. It is about two women who work their day jobs cleaning houses in the United States, but they are from a different country and have their own opinions about Americans. This gentle indie film does not avoid the tougher issues, exploring themes of racial differences and job dissatisfaction through the lens of a character drama. From the opening scene to the end credits, each shot could be a photograph telling its own story. And every line feels 100% genuine you believe everything the characters say, the drama never feels forced. It is full of raw emotion and there is some sadness. It was... hypnotic. What a beautiful film!
