Moviegoers are saying
This psychological thriller adaptation of 'The Housemaid' delivers a faithful book-to-screen translation that has audiences covering their eyes one moment and laughing the next. While Amanda Seyfried earns universal praise for her powerhouse performance, viewers are split on questionable music choices and Sydney Sweeney's more subdued role in what's being called 'Gone Girl for the Temu generation.'

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.

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.
