When Linh, an orphaned Vietnamese girl, finds work at a plantation in 1953 Indochina, she soon enters into an unlikely romance with the plantation's French owner. However, this romance is bound to be disquiet, bringing forth the rage and wraith of both the living and the dead.

When its many secrets spill out in the finale, “The Housemaid” has to cheat a little to pull off a humdinger of a twist, but it’s enormously satisfying anyway, if only for bringing the core historical conflict back to the fore.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
The film, bearing no small debt to Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca, inevitably has a familiar feel. But director-screenwriter Nguyen infuses it with enough fresh elements to make it fully entertaining.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
