The Housemaid is a wild, unhinged and fun ride. I'm slightly disappointed that I read the book first and ruined most of the twists, but there are still some surprises for readers. Sydney Sweeney is solid, but Amanda Seyfried owns this movie.

I really have no faith in this wording: "Netflix expects to maintain Warner Bros.’ current operations... including theatrical releases for films." I'll believe it when I see it.
Netflix has won the bidding war to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery.
The sale is not yet finalized, as the U.S. Department of Justice could also interfere due to anti-trust concerns.
