Intro: I wasn't planning to watch it, to be honest, but when everybody started talking about it in a favorable manner, I kinda got curious.
Film 2434: "The Housemaid" (2025), Paul Feig
Watched: From my computer
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh
Thoughts: I didn’t read the book, so this was definitely an unexpected, crazy ride for me.
I don’t think "The Housemaid" is necessarily a good movie, but it’s definitely an entertaining one. Amanda Seyfried is great in it and perfectly fits her role. Sydney Sweeney, Brandon Sklenar, and Michele Morrone are also there.
I think, in general, the movie is too long (131 minutes), and some parts could have been cut without really damaging the end result. Especially towards the end—and after all the flashbacks showing how we got there—the repetitiveness starts to show, and you really want the story to end. Once the teeth, hair, and cuts twists are put into place, it starts to feel like there’s more shock value than actual narrative, so things get a bit too crazy.
Overall, though, "The Housemaid" is better than you might expect, in the sense that for as crazy as it is, you still end up having a good enough time. Or maybe my expectations were just too low.
Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar, Michele Morrone, Elizabeth Perkins.
Box Office: $329.6 million (to date)
Worth a watch?: An unexpected box-office hit, "The Housemaid" is far from a masterpiece, yet it delivers some entertaining moments. If you enjoy thrillers with wild plot twists, this movie will definitely be enjoyable.
Awards: /
Key word: Hair roots.
