The Woman in the Window (2021)

Truly waste of time and talent ; it fells like a cable tv-movie and it's a hate crime if you even think put it on the same line with Hitchcock's gripping thriller (Rear Window ) , Amy Adams was OK, she could play these kind of roles in her sleep ( See Sharp objects she was terrific ) ; some great actors are criminally underused ( Anthony Mackie - Jennifer Leigh - Gary Oldman ) , The only standout in this tripe was Julianne Moore who injected some energy into this borefest however she couldn't save this mess , if she was given much more screen time the movie would be at least decent .

Don't waste your time , watch Rear Window it's the same permise but well executed .

Fmovies: This is the example of movies with big budgets that allow them to have a lot of possibilities, but sometimes a lot is not the best for a movie. Without a doubt Rear Window from 1954 comes to mind and I can only say that Alfred Hitchcock won since with much less he provides us with the suspense that The Woman In The Window lacked. I must say that I am a fan of Joe Wright movies and this is not at his level, it will not change the perception I have of him as a filmmaker because I want to think that the decisions that hurt the film were not made by him (based on some productions by Scott Rudin) so I'll pretend I never looked at it. I also have to mention that the best thing was the music, excellently achieved by Danny Elfman where he takes us on a journey of horror classics, exactly what the movie dealt with in many ways but with mediocre results, I can't wait to listen to it in full and enjoy the heartbreaking cry of the violins.

I think this is quite a decent film with a few surprises along the way, I'd recommend watching it.

The Woman in the Window fmovies. Sure this movie is no masterpiece. But in my oppinion it s a good friday night watch. It's pretty thrilling and entertaining, it had me glued to the screen. Amy is a delight as always. There are some decent plot twists and the end brings a peacefull closure to the movie.

Honestly not that bad!

6-6.5.

From the release delays to the bad word of mouth, I was expecting this to be a trainwreck of a movie. Instead, what I got was a perfectly enjoyable suspense thriller. Sure, it's has it's flaws, the first half seems rushed, and some actors were underutilized (Jennifer Jason Leigh in particular) but I did not see that final twist coming - a twist that actually made sense.

I have not read the book, but even if I had it's only fair to judge this as a separate piece of work - because it is. So even if the book WAS better, it's got nothing to do with this piece of entertainment to me for they are two completely different experiences. Kudos to this film for not sucking.

Having read the book I was super excited about the movie ! But alas it was a disappointment. The movie felt like more of a drama than an intriguing thriller like it was in the book. The dialogues sometimes were over the top and the pace lagging, the supporting actors only show up when it's convenient to keep the plot moving. Sadly there is nothing interesting about any one of them. Expect for Moore she nailed her part.

Even the two biggest reveals of the story seemed lacklustre. There was a lot of buildup throughout but it just fell flat in the end.

Keeping all the negativity aside Amy as always did a great job.
