The Housemaid is ridiculously fun, so contrived but ever so entertaining. This in part is helped by the go for broke acting of the leads, especially Seyfried. From the get go it is obvious who the real villain of the story is, but it is the why that keeps the intrigue intact until the reveal. This is a very much throwaway popcorn movie that delivers the goods. In the olden days it would be just the actresses giving the T & A, but now the guys get to show a bit of flesh too ... lol. This isn't any prestige movie, but it provides a fun and entertaining time at the movies.

What starts off as some quirky rom com, had me in a blubbering mess by the end. As a person whom has been in longish relationships, this really gave me the feels. The destination is fairly predictable, but it throws the odd curveball getting there, which kept me on my toes throughout. The three leads have great chemistry, in particular Olsen, who really should be A-list by now ... Miles Teller is extremely likeable here too and also deserves a huge hit after his breakthrough performance in Whiplash, which already seems so long ago. This is a rom com that really delivers the goods, and makes one contemplate over our own life after seeing the film. Life really is a collection of memories....

As much as i enjoyed the first movie, i never thought that highly of it that it should warrant a franchise. My suspicions were proven correct, when i found the second one, Glass Onion to be such a bore. So i went into this minimal expectations, but the main reason in giving it a go was because i really like this set of actors. This by far was the funniest of the 3, and the mystery with a religious spin was so much more engaging than the previous 2. The MVP of the movie is the exceedingly likeable Josh O'Connor and Glenn Close is always worth seeing.
