The Housemaid Review: Don’t Let Anyone Make You Feel Guilty About Enjoying The Pleasures Of This Deranged Adaptation

It’s key to remember that The Housemaid isn’t meant to be a serious drama. While it touches on complex issues, those themes aren’t the main focus. This story, by Freida McFadden, feels deliberately crafted for a movie adaptation – a sort of lighter take on Gone Girl. The original 2022 book has already led to two sequels and a short story, all revolving around Millie (played by Sydney Sweeney in the film) and her troubled past, which brings her into the lives of Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar).
