The Housemaid (2025)

Description

The Housemaid is a 2025 psychological thriller directed by Paul Feig and adapted from Freida McFadden's blockbuster 2022 novel, with a screenplay by Rebecca Sonnenshine. Released by Lionsgate, it became one of the season's biggest commercial success stories, translating the book's runaway, twist-driven popularity into a glossy, addictive big-screen thriller.

Sydney Sweeney stars as Millie, a young woman with a hidden past who takes a live-in position with a wealthy couple, only to discover that the household is built on secrets and lies. Amanda Seyfried plays Nina Winchester, the volatile woman of the house, with Brandon Sklenar as her husband Andrew and Michele Morrone in the ensemble, as the story spirals into a dangerous game of manipulation, class resentment and shifting power.

Made for a modest budget of around $35 million, the film grossed more than $300 million worldwide, and its cliffhanger ending set the stage for a planned sequel drawn from McFadden's follow-up novel. A sleek, pulpy crowd-pleaser, it leaned into its soapy reversals and the chemistry of its two leads. It is streaming on Prime Video.

Crime & Thriller
Brad Pitt plays Jackie Cogan in Andrew Dominik's crime thriller Killing Them Softly, a mobster whose task is to investigate an impudent murder which happened during the illegal poker game organized by mafia bosses. To have a holistic perception of the movie atmosphere just mix-up in your imagination The Sopranos, GoodFellas, Pulp Fiction and put them in a Bush/Obama post-crisis America of last half of 2008; ladle it with some thick layer of political dressing made of pragmatic thoughts and infallible Jackie Cogan's phrases about what happens with people when recession comes and who is responsible for all of this mess. Killing Them Softly is loosely based on George V. Higgins novel Cogan's Trade which he wrote in the period of time 1972 – 1974, when he worked as lawyer, specializing in crime processes involving mafia complicity. This fact leads us to believe that he knows a lot about the shady inside world of gangster's "paradise" which served as a perfectly sharpened background for Andrew Dominik's movie. Filmed for that point in post-Katrina New Orleans Killing Them Softly immerses us in the abyss of despair and hopelessness which enveloped everyone's minds and souls of in America, regardless of occupation – even for thorough-paced gangster – it's time to think about what's wrong with this world. The movie was nominated for the Palme d'Or at 65th Cannes Film Festival in 2012.
