Joy (Max Eigenmann) is an undocumented Filipino immigrant struggling to do the best she can to support her daughter, Grace (Jaeden Boadilla). Soon she secures the perfect job: taking care of an extremely wealthy but terminal old man. The new position pays well and guarantees a roof over their heads, but very soon, Joy and Grace start to realize everything is not as it seems. Something is festering beneath the surface, threatening all they have worked for.

Critics Consensus

Dispensing social commentary shrouded in gothic dread, Raging Grace smartly balances its messaging against vivid atmosphere and absorbing character-driven drama.

3/5

Peel back the cliches and there’s something interesting here: a gnawing sense of injustice and biting social commentary.

2/5

Zarcilla strains so hard to match the politics of the premise with the parameters of horror that he ends up diluting both — imagine Roma meets Poltergeist, or The Maid meets Insidious.

3/5

Zarcilla may have more ideas than this film can easily accommodate, or the viewer easily swallow, but he is a distinctly stylish and confident director to keep an eye on.

As much as it foregrounds the overlooked horrors of immigrant life, what lords over Raging Grace is how it exoticizes that intent to the point of making an unnecessary theater out of it.

3/5

The denouement spills over into hoary melodrama, but this is a distinctive slice of gothic realism whose social critique is unsettlingly sharp.
