SYDNEY SWEENEY JUST SAVED 2025 WITH ONE FINAL, UNSETTLING BLOW 🖤🔥
Her new psychological thriller closes out a brutal year with the BEST Rotten Tomatoes score of her entire 2025 slate, and critics are calling it her most disturbing, fearless performance yet. Twisted, nerve-shredding, and impossible to shake — this is the film everyone’s arguing about after the credits roll. 👀👇
********************
With the first reviews coming in, The Housemaid currently has 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is based on 42 reviews. While more reviews will be tabulated, it still marks the highest-rated Sweeney movie in 2025, in what has been a rough year for the actor.
Even though The Housemaid is not a perfect movie, critics agree that the thriller is a lot of fun, filled with twists, suspense, and sexiness. Some have even noted that the movie calls back to the tropes of the erotic thriller subgenre. While the cast performance seems mixed among critics, it’s near unanimous that Amanda Seyfried’s portrayal of the chilling wife is the highlight.

While critics can’t agree whether the movie is a worthy adaptation of McFadden’s novel, there is a strong endorsement that The Housemaid is a good popcorn flick for audiences during the end-of-the-year holidays.
In ScreenRant’s review of The Housemaid, Graeme Guttman was engaged by the psychological thriller, awarding it 7 out of 10 stars. Calling the thriller a “guilty pleasure,” he agrees that the flick will end up being one of the most fun movies of the year.
The review heavily praises Seyfried, even going on to say that her performance outmatches Sweeney’s. He ends his sentiment by saying:
Even as it veers into darker thematic territory, Feig’s light touch and Seyfried’s committed performance add an air of deranged enjoyment that make The Housemaid one of the most fun movies of 2025.
While it sounds like Sweeney’s performance was overshadowed by her peer, it doesn’t take away the fact that this is a big win for the star, who desperately needed it. From the controversy over the American Eagle Jeans ad to back-to-back box office flops, the last half of the year has been rough for the young star.

Sweeney was one of the busiest actors this year with several movies releasing in theaters, including American, Eden, and Christy. Unfortunately, all the movies became box office flops, even setting unfortunate records like the biggest second weekend dips of all time with Christy.

Thankfully, Sweeney can end 2025 with a strong finish, as it seems the thriller may have legs at the box office despite competition with Avatar: Fire and Ash. The good reviews for The Housemaid could boost audience interest, alongside the release overlapping with the Christmas and New Year’s Eve holidays.
It also wouldn’t be the first time that Sweeney found success during this particular period. Just two years ago, her romantic comedy with Glen Powell, Anyone But You, was also released in December and gradually became a sleeper hit during the holidays. It’s possible that the star could repeat this with The Housemaid.
Directed by Paul Feig, The Housemaid cast also includes Brandon Sklenar and Michele Morrone. The script was written by Rebecca Sonnenshine.
The Housemaid will release in theaters on December 19.
