The Housemaid

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.

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.

Was very impressed with this movie and all of its scenes were very interesting

Greetings from Lithuania.N ot going to lie that I enjoyed "The Housemaid" (2025) for the majority of its run time 2 h 5 min. But at the end this film just probably wasn't that much for me. I liked the performance by Amanda Seyfried - she was great in this film. The premise is fun but far stretched - I had no clue what this movie was about and all of the few twists that were here weren't that great. It is a ridiculous premise that could have worked only in a movie world. Overall, "The Housemaid" run out off its fun premise into a boring and predictable third act with a whimper. It is a fun film to watch once on a boring evening mainly because of Amanda Seyfried. Other then that I left disappointed.

总感觉这个剧情似曾相识，加上导演导过《一个小忙》，全片的风格都有种既视感。有悉尼妹和阿曼达看倒是不亏，就是悉尼妹到现在依然没什么演技，依然在纯靠数值。

Why is it being claimed that Mossad is blackmailing Trump with the Epstein files, while Ghislaine Maxwell played a no less pivotal role, and Trump has reportedly tapped a woman, Pam Bondi, to lead the Department of Justice and defend him before the House Oversight Committee? In other words: why the emphasis, political even more than media-driven, placed on the scandal's male figures? Is it a counter-bias rooted in toxic masculinity, misandry, neo-feminism, the lingering effects of #MeToo? In today's context, Freida McFadden's 2022 novel might still make some sense, but this 2025 adaptation, a Lyne YA flick or a tripled "Gone Girl" (Fincher 2014), certainly doesn't. And these days, the vengeful conspiracy between the two women and the female investigator is far too reminiscent of the barbarity of ICE squads or the introduction of the unilateral death penalty thanks to Ben Gvir's gentle persistence. At least we have an extraordinary cosmological discovery: parallel universes exist, and Feig inhabits one of them. 3½

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.
