Atom User Reviews for The Housemaid

If you read the book, I would say it's about 85% the same. The ending is a little different, less of Nina backstory, Cecelia is a little different and Enzo is not much of a factor. But yes Amanda killed it.

By far the BEST book to screen adaptation since The Notebook! This movie had me shook, covering my eyes, and laughing!

My plots have been twisted! Good movie!

It was almost identical to the book.

This movie 10/10!! This is a very good movie!!

That Movie Was Absolutely MindBlowing AMAZING

this was an amazing twist. I really enjoyed this movie. It would’ve never guessed the ending.

all frieda’s books are amazing this will be the first of sydney sweenys movies in the past couple years that won’t be a flop because the book is amazing which was made into a good movie actually

it's a good movie. it has some very interesting plot twist that change things around and there's a hero at the end

Loved it! Great movie!!

New kind of Robinhood

Starts off predictable and then it gets so good!

Book is better, but overall pretty good! Took a star away for changing a pretty big part in the book. Definitely worth a watch!

Awesome movie!

Perfect girls night out!

I didn’t know anything about the book (?) or previous movie (?) but I LOVED IT! I recommend all adults to see it. Sydney Sweeney did a terrific job. The plot and twists were totally unexpected. Worth my money! 👍🏻

LOVE ITTT!!!!

Housemaid was exceptionally well written, and the movie adaptation stayed true to the book in all the right ways. The pacing was strong, the storytelling was engaging, and the tension translated beautifully from page to screen. 10/10

Best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Actually kept my attention the entire plot.

Overall good acting (especially Amanda Seyfried) and good storyline. Nothing that hasn’t been done before, but it keeps you interested until the end.

I like the book more 🙂

It was a pretty good movie. Plot twist was cool. A bit long to my liking there were parts that could've been shortened. Sydney nudity of course lol

Movie was great but the movie at the theater kept going black

Sweeney proves here, after Christy, Echo Valley and Reality, that she’s a performer of versatility and, crucially, staying power.

There’s promise to this or that character and in the twists that almsot certainly played better in the novel than Feig manages on screen. But the promise is squandered in a pokey, obvious movie that stumbles towards stupid in the anti-climactic latter acts.

Movie Nation

Based on Freida McFadden’s novel, “The Housemaid” rides waves of manipulation and then turns the tables on what we think we’ve just seen, looking at male-female power structures and how privilege can trap people without it.
