“The Housemaid” is Paul Feig’s delicious, satirical look at the secret depravity of the ultra-rich, but it’s so well constructed that’s it’s not clear who’s naughty or nice. Halfway through, the movie zigs and everything you expected zags.
The Housemaid' is sleazy, steamy, silly, and stupid, which in the hands of a stronger director, could have made for something far better than we got here.
The day-long shoot at Rutt's Hutt included filming in the dining room, at the front counter and in the parking lot, Chrisafinis said. You can keep an eye out for the famous neon sign, which he said will also appear in the movie.
The twisty thriller follows Millie (played by Sydney Sweeney ), a young woman with a troubled past who is hired as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy couple, Nina ( Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester ( Brandon Sklenar ), as it’s quickly revealed that things aren’t as perfect as they seem.
Paul Feig paid tribute to his fellow director, Rob Reiner, on Monday night by dedicating the premiere screening of his new movie "The Housemaid" to him.
