Overview
Trying to escape her past, Millie Calloway accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina and Andrew Winchester. But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous—a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power.



























































As it is, the plot of the book is conveyed well, albeit concisely.
All three of the main cast members have undergone a transformation over the course of the film, but Amanda Seyfried is particularly impressive. How the roles of crazy heroines suit her, the look, the facial expressions are just at the highest level. And how cool she then transformed into a completely normal girl. She hasn't been seen in major projects for quite a while, such a comeback is impressive and I hope it will continue in the same spirit.
Sydney Sweeney is good in the role of a sweet, calm girl who turns out to be not so simple in the end. A few erotic scenes with her are also a plus for the film. Brandon Sklenar got the least room for maneuver, but there are no special questions for him, he performed the abusive major well.. In general, I didn't regret watching the movie at all, and there are very few films that can be described this year.
The policewoman, who handled everything for the medical examiners on the spot, smiled - It was an accident! Okey.
The scriptwriters could have already helped the girls and thrown the boy to the floor with a smile, so at least there would be a tooth without any questions. They would have had to come up with only a knife in the neck, but they came up with a powerful police officer.
The camera in the closet was supposedly already with his wife. Illogically, she went to open the door knowing that he could be watching on his phone.
The average girlspaver movie.
The acting is really strong. I'm not familiar with the book, and my suspicions were constantly darting from side to side. The actors, in terms of emotions, were able to convey everything very strongly. only Seifred takes it out on himself as much as possible, and Sweeney once again surprises with his acting abilities.
for someone unfamiliar with the original source, the film has several unexpected plot twists, and the ending (for me) was not entirely predictable. although there were similar moments in the film with other similar thrillers, this one was really able to surprise, in many ways, of course, thanks to the strong acting.
I really liked the movie. Sometimes it's very emotional, even though there are a lot of genre cliches, which is just plain banal. But what an implementation! During the session, I was never distracted by the phone, it was interesting to watch.
My daughter got hooked. She knew exactly about the attic. And her saying that drinking juice is a privilege. Did she have to go through lessons about consequences too? And I was glad that she wasn't on her stepfather's side.
Amanda is beautiful. Sydney still hasn't opened up to me personally.
The ending is controversial. It is logical that police support is not enough. But in the comments above, they wrote that the author revealed the denouement in the book better than the screenwriters (although she was a producer and controlled a lot), so maybe I'll even read it)
The ending spoiled the impression a little, everything is too smooth, it's fantastic. A policeman at a funeral -
Amanda, my compliments, she played great, you believe everything she does. Sydney - I can't get into her yet, but she doesn't cause rejection either.
In general, the film is not a masterpiece, of course, but it holds the attention and is worth watching.
There was no desire to even guess and fantasize about "who and what".
I enjoyed watching it.
Caste
And I'm even glad that I read the book, because after it the movie looks very good, I was just happy with the successfully reworked moments.
The actors play well, the plot is without too much water smearing according to the script, even the number of bed scenes is appropriate here.
I definitely recommend it for evening viewing.
She plays like she really doesn't give a fuck about anything. From a cute maid to a fucked up bitch in 10 minutes.
The movie looks good, the music is overpowering, the sex scenes are juicy.
But the script is blunt in places, the twists are predictable, which is infuriating after such a heat.
I liked the movie 4 out of 5. I'm glad that Sidney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried starred in the same film. I'm waiting for more films with their further participation.
P.S. I would also like to add Esther Exposito to their duet and straight
"The Maid" carries a deep moral that shows the current and growing problem of domestic violence, showing how defenseless girls can be and how, at first glance, innocent and ideal men can be, who in fact pose a threat. The main villain of the picture is revealed only in the second half of the film, showing the insidiousness of the male nature towards a woman.
Knowing how mass thinking works, many people may see only a femme fatale here, but this is too one-sided a view of this film and the issues that are being raised. Knowing examples of people who have been through such things, I understand that this picture is important for society.
I probably didn't like the fact that some of the events at the end of the film seem to be let down (although who knows), and even with the piano in the bushes, but in general I understand that this is even the case here, because it allows us to better add emphasis on how this problem is It's important.
Amanda Seyfried played beautifully, just amazing qualities on her part. Sydney is good too. Yes, she's a very nice girl, so I'm very biased, being someone who really likes her for her looks (it's not about her breasts at all, if anything). But she played pretty well too.
I need to think about it until the end, but at the moment I'm ready to give 7 out of 10. A normal movie is quite
After reading your review, I was once again convinced that the work turned out to be decent and it was a good start to 2026.
Everyone in the movie is painfully beautiful. If there was a role of a homeless man, he probably would have been made like from the cover of a magazine.
I love variety. At one time, I quit Riverdale on the first episode, because everything is so slick, everything is so perfect that it makes me feel sick.
The ratings for the film are too high, there is nothing so stunning there.
And they overdid the ending.
The stage!Spoiler alert! with a new employee who is also being abused by her husband, it's already too much. She's like an avenger, a warrior, a defender of the insulted and humiliated, but there's not enough cloak, ugh, it's unbelievable.
In general, I will not say that I watched it without pleasure, it will do for once, no more.
The film left two questions unresolved: why were there so few Morrones, and if Millie was familiar with the gardener, why didn't they show their backstory, at least briefly?
In general, the film is on a solid 4, it will allow you to pass the evening with pleasure.
- When should I start?
The ending is a cannon!
A thriller with detective elements, which is perfect for an evening movie screening)
Sydney got lost in the background, because Amanda is a queen for horror and thrillers + many people see Sydney as a
boobsactress of the same typeimmediately from favorites to the bottom of the rating
The whole movie, emotions were changing: at first, I even thought how good it was that he cheated on his wife, she was really schizophrenic. How could she possibly want to drown her child? Then, well, the opinion changed dramatically. Wow, the husband is a sadist. And then there's the maid, who's been jailed for murder.
The cast is great. I really liked it, I didn't expect so many different twists in the script at all.
In the finale, she is apparently handed over to the next victim of domestic violence. The question is, how soon will the police become interested in why husbands are constantly dying in families where a girl on parole works? And if Millie were a really strong heroine, she should have sent Nina on her way. She was literally bought as a toy for a psychopath and no woman power and sisterhood atones for that. Then let's feel sorry for our husband, maybe his crazy mother locked him in the attic and starved him to death. Where is the line when the transferred abuse gives an indulgence? Nina concentrated on breaking Millie, framed her for a psychopath, and if it weren't for her daughter, she would have lived in peace. She should have sold her clothes, hired her gardener, and quietly dumped her hubby in a dark alley. If you believe her, by the way, she paid off from Millie in the price of the clothes that she "stole" from her. Anyway, it didn't work out. Without a soul or a spark.
Girls, choose men wisely. Both education and profession are the best assets in your life. Free cheese is only in a mousetrap.
Of course, the film has its inconsistencies, but in general, the movie is good and really deserves attention, as it touches on a rather sensitive topic, and it can respond to many. I didn't regret my time at all.
Amanda Seyfried's game hit the very heart.
Logic in actions -
You can watch it once
But definitely, after your comments, I wanted to read the book and find out the details)
And in this film, I discovered Amanda Seyfried from a different angle. She played great 🔥
In the beginning, everything seemed to start calmly and quietly, the plot was smoothly developing, they told about Millie's life, but that was before the first night, and when she woke up in the morning Nina Winchester was destroying the kitchen, here I realized that not everything would be so great in this movie ... and this house, Heaven forbid
Amanda Seyfried was very respected and it was my first meeting with Sweeney, both beauties are a cool game👏🏼
Juice is a privilege. Brrr
As they say, what they fought for, they ran into.
I didn't expect anything from the film, the trailer was watched casually, but the cast does its job, attracts the viewer.
And wow, I really liked the movie, the actors played their roles, for the first half I couldn't figure out which of them was more finished. The tracks get confused, and the readings change.
People who have read the book, give me a feedback link, is it worth diving into the book history?
Let's forget it all. Let's start with a clean slate, let's pretend that all this never happened. (c)
And so yes, it's worth watching, worrying, looking for a way out) ❤️
He seemed to have hinted about the roots several times. And his mother asked him to be careful about the plate, and he said it was broken, but at least wash it.
And his wife just couldn't leave him for so many years-nonsense. She framed the maid, and she took her husband away in response. Everyone is kind of mean and greedy.
If there had been other actors and maybe someone more experienced would have written the script, the film could have turned out to be a solid 8/10. And so 2/10 and that, for a beautiful picture
Very sorry
It's a little predictable, a little more cliche than necessary, but in general it's quite possible to pass 2 hours of free time and once again make sure that life is not always as it seems at first glance.
It was only due to recognizable faces that it was possible to watch it and not leave in the middle of the session.
But the eternally stupid face of Sydney's universal favorite, the mediocre acting with these glances, like in a cheap soap opera. Plus the STUPIDEST monosyllabic dialogues.
Honestly, sometimes I like to look at any slag against a background with a rating of 4-5 on KP, but at least there is obvious slag there and I don't expect anything from it.
And here... Such advertising, such lauded reviews, almost the whole world is in awe, and I can't understand it.: is there something I don't understand, or is it just that my huge viewing of films of this genre has done its job and such a thing is not exciting at all?
You can watch it 1 time, but it would be better if I did it at home on the couch for free, because for the first time in 8 years I felt sorry for the money I spent on a movie ticket
I like TV series more, and I rarely like movies, especially new ones. But this film made me feel some kind of inexplicable delight. Sydney Sweeney, of course, is familiar to me from the TV series "Euphoria" and her character is very impressive to me there. But in this movie, Sydney's character... that's wow! My inner critic is very satisfied and happy
"pull out your damn tooth"
It's a very intense and disturbing film.
Definitely worth watching, what an unexpected ending
- no one will believe that he fell because of a light bulb.
- Let's check
it out .
I liked it, I watched it with interest.
And the ending is great, a happy ending.
Amanda played beautifully, and Sydney is fine.
Now you can see where the upbringing of "basket sons" can lead.
I watched because of Amanda, she's just an unreal beauty.😌
In general, the film is not the most terrible, although predictable. I think he would have come in about 15 years ago. Such thrillers were very fashionable back then.
Although I've heard that the box office is good, so I guess a generation has grown up who hasn't seen a whole layer of cinema. 😅
@-TraumfraU-: I didn't read the comments above, but that's nonsense... If these two aren't beautiful women, who is? Strange criteria for leg straightness and height. By the way, proportions are also important😬 I'm not a fan of Sydney, but it's impossible not to admit that she's attractive, and not just because of her breasts 😅
>> in my opinion they are very beautiful. As a woman to a woman I say)
That's the point: for me, both Danny Trejo and Steve Buscemi are handsome.
Nina played the crazy one perfectly, because I believed her that she was like that) She came up with such a cool plan to escape from Andrew.
But the ending is purely "cinematic", it just has to be coincidental that the policeman's sister was dating the same Andrew😁
Sydney Swinney did a great job, but Amanda Seyfried was just as good as Nina.
Andrew infuriated me that he was trying to be perfect, so that the woman would be his ideal. Oh, how I got high when Molly locked him up and started taking revenge on him)
In general, I really liked the movie, it's been a long time since I've watched a movie with such interest, without being distracted by anything)
Check out the films The Invisible Guest or The Captives. Yes, both detective and thriller are just 10 heads better.
You change the awl for soap and recommend instead a la thriller, another, even more clumsy one)
At least the girls played well here)
And watching solves it.
There's a clue to the second part at the end.
Well, in the second part, the tension began.…
CAREFULLY SPOILERS
- well, overly romantic sex is absolutely everywhere, plus a sharp happiness in life in the form of a husband with an expensive dowry — the main attributes of women's books for women
- somehow the dude easily fit into someone else's personal life, just like in the finale of the Sirens series))))
When Sydney woke up in a locked room with nothing on, I hated…
the wife turned out to be a victim for her husband + a maniac for Sydney + a rescuer for her daughter
And the movie itself somehow reminded Christie of Sydney, like she's such a tough warrior.
how did a man not die from a knife wound In the NECK??
when his wife went to the attic for "Millie", I tensed up, but how quickly he forgot about his wife and chased after a new victim
but the situation with the tooth, did the person just remove the veneer or did they cover up the tooth, did someone look at it?
the moment the policewoman said about her sister, I was already startled... and then when she was hiring again... damn it!!!! Cool!
and finally, the movie is a bit reminiscent of the series Ginny and Georgia, I recommend you to take a look!
For 12-year-old girls to watch the beautiful actors.
It would be boring if the main villain was Amanda, and the movie with the attic was originally read.
by the way, Amanda's heroine cleverly closed the possibility for her husband to lock her there, putting her in Sydney's attic
and also putting a pregnancy spiral
is good!
(how Sydney didn't get pregnant after so many times without any protection... it's amazing that she didn't talk about this possibility in the attic before she cut her stomach)
every time Nina tried to turn the situation around, like with the wrong date for attending the musical (?), when she herself said about Saturday
, or with the fact that Millie came to pick up the daughter of the family, but she didn't need to be picked up, she wanted to scream, well, start recording dialogues with the hostess on a dictaphone! otherwise, you can believe in your insanity.
everyone has already said about the ending, of course, it's not plausible, but the film as a whole is pretty average, such a trope with her husband being locked in the basement / attic is not that new
, as Millie and then Andrew did not bleed to death, for example
Amanda's game is above all praise!
Hopefully, the girl, who has already begun repeating phrases about privileges after her "father," will grow up to be normal, given that it was she who encouraged her mother to return for Millie before running away.
The most important thing, of course, is that his mother didn't ask for an autopsy, to find out why there were no teeth, why his neck was cut. The policeman decided to hush it up, and everyone closed their eyes. Yeah, of course. If he had killed her, Mom would have paid and gotten away with it. But not the other way around.
Sydney Sweeney plays like Kristen Stewart: zero emotions and an ever-open mouth.
What a man... The same expression on his face all the time, no charisma, what was he trying to bribe the ladies with?
not the best movie in the world, but you can watch
it plus Sydney and Amanda in the same movie 😔 my weakness
It was clearly shot as a purely entertaining movie, but, imho, it didn't make it here either.
The twist turned out to be too obvious, the plot is 30 minutes long, and stretched over 2 hours with pennies, it does not keep you in suspense
Why did the girls in the attic obey him, it's okay to pull out twenty hairs, but to make cuts. And then calmly arrange a snack, instead of treating wounds, well, it looks ridiculous.
As it is, the movie is interesting.
And this miraculous rescue by the police turned out to be extremely improbable. If only she were a coroner, whose job it is to determine death as violent... However, even then it's quite a piano in the bushes.
However, the film provoked an emotional response, it was nice to see the characters, and Millie's revenge pleased her. I really expected her to make Andrew beat the tea set, but she just did.
And the daughter once said that "juice is a privilege," most likely she was locked up too?
The ending is completely delusional, but this, as I understand it, is completely fiction by the scriptwriters - both about the "accident" after several stabbings and knocked-out teeth, and about the fact that no one paid attention to the fact that a criminal who was released on parole lived in the family, and that the detective stupidly closes the case without leaving the crime scene, and a stroke of genius about GG, who went to another abuser, who, apparently, will also fall out of the window soon. The parole officer is also fine, no questions asked. I really don't understand who this is meant for, you weren't shooting a comedy. I don't see anything good in the fact that such bullshit is being filmed about real and serious topics of domestic violence.
Cypher played well among the actors, Sklenar's role was rather unexpected for him, Sweeney was nothing, but with the styling after sleeping in the car.
Otherwise, you're right that a lot of things in the film were exaggerated, but in general, the film went down with a bang for a lot of people, and I'm no exception, it was just watchable, the acting in the global sense is without pretensions. Nowadays, compared to the rest of the low-grade slag, this is quite something.
I advise everyone to watch the movie.
Regarding Sydney herself: this is probably one of the few roles where she basically fits in more or less harmoniously.
It's a typical girlpower movie, not bad or good. Although it's not bad as a movie for the evening.
The sad thing is, even to me, a person who has not read the book on which the film was made, the information looks too stripped down. A good reason to start reading the original source)
The book "The Last Mrs. Parrish" was first published in 2017. And "The Maid" was released in 2022. I haven't read "The Maid," but everything I see on the screen matches the first book. They only replaced my friend with a maid, and here's a new book for you.
It's a shame for the author of "The Last Mrs. Parrish." Everything was more logical and detailed in it. The first part was from my friend's side, the second from my wife's side, and when the second part began, I just screamed with delight, because I was already beginning to suspect that all the castles were made of air...
Naturally, there were no surprising twists in the film for me, he was not to blame for this in general, but the sediment remained. Although it's not clear if everything was shortened during the creation of the film or if everything in the book was also crumpled up..
I advise everyone to read the first book or even listen to it in audio format, it is much more interesting. It is written in the first person, so you can feel all the emotions of the two main characters.
