The Merry Maids of Madness

Watched 01/27/19 on Amazon Prime



Being familiar with Shakespearean comedies is helpful, but not essential to enjoyment of this film. While the majority of this film's story takes place with seemingly VERY light security) where individuals are sent to regain their sanity and their ability to live in the outside world.

All the characters are well-acted and three dimensional. I can't single anyone out as each character seemed alive and interesting. Directing and editing keeps this story in motion even with limited locations. This is not a documentary of life in an asylum, but it is a comedy with themes that are easily relatable. The soundtrack does the job enhances times of action and odd occurrences.

Maybe a cliché, but the phrase that comes to my mind was "All's well that ends well." This movie is worth your time and thought.
