The Housemaid is a delightful hall of mirrors in which reality turns out to be subject to infinite modification.

The Housemaid is one of those movies you go with. It’s too stylized, too entertainingly extreme, for you to get hung up on whether it all tracks.

Esse filme realmente superou minhas expectativas. Eu pensava que seria algo bem cliche.

Housemaid Sydney Sweeney and mistress Amanda Seyfried go bonkers to the max and I mean that in the best way.

Is The Housemaid a serious movie? No. Is it often bogged down by a clunky script penned by Rebecca Sonnenshine? Yes. Is it sometimes even stupid? Definitely. Is it fun to watch and sure to become a fun staple? Yes, absolutely — thanks to Seyfried and Feig.

Paul Feig nods to ‘Rebecca’ and ‘Vertigo’ in this pulpy adaptation of the Freida McFadden bestseller, which has a secret weapon in the form of a quite brilliant Amanda Seyfried.

When it's sexy, violent, or bonkers, it's a wildly enjoyable romp, and lead Sydney Sweeney kills it any time she's allowed to dial emotions up to 10 (as fans of Euphoria or Immaculate can attest to). Was it great? For the majority of its runtime, no. Would I watch the sequel it teases? Yes. Inside you are two wolves, and if they're watching The Housemaid in different parts, the one watching the ending is the happier wolf by far.

The Housemaid’s twist is a doozy, but it falls just short of being a deconstruction of tradwife values.

A stupid script, full of gimmicky clichés and impossible situations, the kind in which you have to turn off your head to avoid crying out to heaven. Better not to mention the ending.Special mention for the horrible soundtrack.

The Housemaid" is a preposterous, sleazy, raunchy, backstabbing, twisted, violent Lifetime Channel-type movie that was overacted and poorly directed.
