The Housemaid movie review: Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried shine in familiar domestic thriller | Movie-review News

The Housemaid movie review: Housemaids and house mistresses share a relationship that is testy at best. Put striking blonde Sweeney and striking blonde Seyfried in the two roles, and there are bound to be fireworks. This is, of course, what Feig is counting on, resting this stretched and mostly familiar story on the solid ground provided by the two actors, who play off each other with just the right amount of tension and chemistry. Thanks to the two, it’s clear from the start that nothing is as it appears in the stately mansion belonging to the even more stately named the Winchesters. Andrew Winchester (Sklenar) works in IT and the family home, from the tip of its tiny attic to its dungeon man cave, has been built to his “precise specifications”. That detail is one of the many throwaways by his wife Nina (Seyfried), as she introduces their house and household to wannabe-housemaid Millie (Sweeney). The latter drives away, believing she has made a wasted trip, for a woman as thorough as Nina was bound …

They together made “The Brutalist” last year,directed by Corbet and co-written with Fastvold, which won Adrien Brody an Oscar. And now, with Fastvold directing, we have “The Testament of Ann Lee” — a stirring and, yes, difficult movie that features a blazing Amanda Seyfried as the Shaker leader. It’s a performance that will knock your 18th-century socks off. There are, of course, key differences. For one thing, unlike fictional architect Lázló Tóth in “The Brutalist,” Ann Lee was a real person — a woman whose life …

By Rollo Ross and Danielle Broadway Amanda Seyfried learns about Shaker founder for film ‘The Testament of Ann Lee’ LOS ANGELES, Dec ‍24 – Amanda Seyfried acknowledges she knew little about Ann Lee, the 18th-century founder of the Shaker movement, before portraying her in “The Testament of Ann Lee,” a film opening Christmas Day that explores the visionary leader’s quest for equality and communal living. “I was surprised that I didn’t learn about her in my own American history classes,” Seyfried – who starred ⁠in “Mamma Mia!” – told Reuters. “This woman is ⁠the leader of the Shaker movement.” The Shakers were a Christian movement also known ⁠for their celibacy and ecstatic worship to shake off evil.
