Movie Review: The Housemaid

Kylie Verzosa plays Daisy, a woman in her 20s who is offered a huge salary mainly to take care of Nami, daughter of William (Albert Martinez), a billionaire, and Roxanne (Louise Delos Reyes), who is pregnant with twins.Daisy succeeds in building rapport with the young child, but that’s not all.  She gets the attention of her boss as well.  William begins to secretly flirt with Daisy, enticing her with glasses of wine and his piano playing, and they eventually begin a sexual relationship.
 
Since Daisy has become somewhat chummy with Roxanne, the latter finds nothing suspicious about her.  But there is someone in the mansion that Daisy cannot fool.
 
Ms. Martha (Jaclyn Jose) is the Mayordoma who she knows everything that is happening inside the house. Nothing escapes her keen eyes. Though she harbors resentment towards her employers, she continues to do her job well.  She’s been with Roxanne since she was a child.  Will Martha’s loyalty to William’s wife be detrimental to Daisy?

The Housemaid is shocking, daring & eye opener. The film has very good performance from Ms. Jaclyn Jose & Kylie Verzosa is a revelation. Good thing that this Philippine adaptation is faithful to the original film from the treatment, cinematography up to the tone the film.

 

My Verdict: 3.5/5
