Plot: Anna Fox (Amy Adams) is an agoraphobic child psychologist who finds herself keeping tabs on the picture perfect family across the street through the windows of her New York City brownstone. Her life is turned upside down when she inadvertently witnesses a brutal crime. Based on the gripping, best-selling novel and adapted by Tracy Letts, shocking secrets are revealed and nothing and no one are what they seem in this suspenseful psychological thriller starring Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Fred Hechinger, Wyatt Russell, Brian Tyree Henry, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Julianne Moore.
My Movie Review: The movie is drowning with fear as the suspense heightens and delusion evolves kept me wondering why the results are lukewarm and underdeveloped doesn't fully realized its potential what entice us from the sneak peak somewhat missing when put together! The Woman In The Window is exiting without remorse what happened I don't remember just the few moments seeing abusive neighbor in the window next to coming to the house kept me clueless and exciting on what to happen after that the biggest downfall I see it kept its mystery toward itself I wish more secrets were uncover in this act to more impact rather than lackluster! Amy Adams is very effective in this portrayal kept me going because she's so convincing in showing hysterical fear the thing that no one believes you and people around kept on twisting the truth I know the feeling even if I didn't experience first hand as we learned in others fortune! Though mostly impossible while many might believe that the film is based on true events, The Woman in the Window is all piece of fiction by A.J. Finn, the pseudonym of author Dan Mallory!
Critics Consensus: A milquetoast and muddled thriller that drowns in its frenzied homages, The Woman in the Window will have audiences closing their curtains. After an extremely silly climax, everything wraps up easily and nicely, and you can't help but realize just how cheap these thrills were. But sometimes that's just what the doctor ordered. A middling, predictable movie that feels like it left most of its personality on the cutting room floor. It is six-time Oscar nominee Adams, towards end, who makes it something special. The Woman in the Window explores disability in an intimate way, yet ultimately returns to a cultural status quo. Aren't you kind of curious to see how lousy it is? Joe Wright can't seem to choose between making this a melodramatic, campy movie, or a taught thriller. When this many people are giving more than one hundred percent, your film needs a strong core to keep it from flying off the rails, and The Woman in the Window unfortunately doesn't have one. Everything falls on Adams who is both committed and convincing. If only the same were true for the material. The predictable twists turn moments that should be full of shock and awe into some unintentional laughable moment:)
