Cheaters never prosper, and the in the Cleaning Lady, the prosperous don’t fair well either. A young, beautiful, love addict, struggling to end a relationship with a married man, finds companionship (mostly distraction) in a badly scared maintenance worker named Shelly (Rachel Alig). She’s the kind of antagonist I like to see most. Not pure evil, but one who thinks, however delusional, that what they’re doing is right. Her execution is a full cup of tension that left me hanging on every word. But after an hour of graceful ramping up, bolded by grisly moments, the third act stalled. On the up side, it was a fun ride with a flawed but root-able protagonist that nonetheless leaves you with a lesson. Sympathy is a dangerous thing. Be careful who you left in your life…even more who you give a key.
