Reception
O Estado de S. Paulo praised the film as it differentiates itself from original play thus does not rellies its comic potential on offending domestic workers. The reviewer also commended the fact that it is a film aimed to general people instead of a sociological approach.[1] Variety praised its cinematography as well as the cast, and further called it a "bright Brazilian comedy" that has "a wit and naturalness that Ken Loach's Bread and Roses might envy."[3] Peter Bradshaw, writing for The Guardian said "it is indeed a little gem".[4]
The film won the Best Cinematography and Missura, Moretto, Roque, Araújo and Melo shared the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 2001 Recife Film Festival.
