Paul Feig’s sly psychological thriller blends glossy camp with razor-sharp tension.

Sydney Sweeney plays Millie, a young woman desperate to outrun her past who lands a coveted live-in job with the affluent Winchesters. Amanda Seyfried’s Nina greets her as the picture of domestic refinement, but Millie’s arrival at the palatial estate quickly exposes fractures beneath the family’s immaculate surface.

Millie isn’t as spotless as she claims, yet Nina’s volatile mood swings and the icy scrutiny of mother-in-law Evelyn suggest the Winchesters have secrets of their own. Andrew Winchester provides a veneer of calm, though even his support hints at deeper complications. As the household’s perfect facade splinters, the story becomes a cutthroat game of manipulation, shifting power and buried histories, each woman masking motives the other can’t quite read.

Feig orchestrates the twists with playful style, leaning into glamorous mischief before steering the film into darker, gripping territory. Sweeney and Seyfried are electric together, their performances fuelling a seductive, surprising thriller about about dominance and self-assertion that keeps you guessing until its final, breathless reveal. This is one to see with a crowd
