Amy Adams once again sleepwalks in a performance that's inside of a forgettable movie. All and all there's nothing really impressive about the twists and turns.

Maybe the worst waste of talent this year. No wonder why this movie got delayed by almost two years. Bland acting, derivative story, and stupid characters make 'The Woman in the Window' a solid contender for the worst film of 2021. HitchcockMaybe the worst waste of talent this year.

Je suis sûr que le film aurait carrément été plus intéressant comme ça…!

Cela dit, Amy Adams est une très bonne actrice et porte tout ce mauvais film sur ses épaules dans le rôle de la psy (!) recluse chez elle, accro aux médoc et alcoolique, dépressive et paranoïaque. Et qui fait sa concierge et surveille les voisins d’en face. Comme dans un certain Fenêtre sur cour… Et comme d’habitude, les rideaux n’ont toujours pas été inventés aux Etats-Unis ! dingue, ça…

Il se trouve d’ailleurs que c’est globalement à peine moins chiant que le vieux nanar du père Hitchcock avec le falot James Stewart. Ce film est comme son ordi tout pourri : il rame comme un crevard ! Le pire concerne le dernier quart du film qui accumule toutes les invraisemblances et rebondissements foireux qu’il a sous la main ; puis il se termine de façon à la fois ridicule et très convenue. Quelle daube !… Expand

Right away, from the premise alone, most movie savvy types might say, hey, the plot reminds me of Hitchcock's Rear Window (shut in witnesses a murder in a neighbouring apartment, tries to get involved, etc...). Indeed, it does and agoraphobic Anna's movie viewing shows a brief glimpse of the classic. Otherwise, the cameo bit of Rear Window you witness in this mess is the only real redeeming instance. Otherwise, I spent a lot of time shaking my head. Honestly... and the actors (Adams, Moore, Oldman), all normally superb in other films, find themselves paychequing their way through this one. They give B-movie performances, working with a muddle of a movie script (and based on a book.... so I have to wonder). And the movie indeed feels B quality at times, then schlocky, then momentarily surreal. At one point I found myself wondering: are these people, namely Anna's neighbours, her tenant and the police all acting so strange and stilted because she has been a shut-in watching far too many old-fashioned movies and thus projecting onto the world around her? Could this explain the exaggerated moments of dialogue? Nope. It was just the movie not figuring out itself. And when it does, and you get to the twist and beyond it and find out who the real murderer is, the climax and death scene for the bad guy, and you have to guffaw if not choke back your incredulity. I wonder what happened to this movie. It feels like someone started a fire, tried to put it out with a few drops of water, added more oil, then, added gasoline then gave up and focussed a camera on the flaming pyre figuring, might as well get something out of it. Avoid this one unless you like dumpster flambé.… Expand

Boring, predictable. The story doesn't reel you in or leave much to discover.

Perhaps the worst thing about this film is the wasted potential. With such an all star cast and some flashy choices of direction and cinematography, the Woman in the Window ends up being like a plastic apple on display at IKEA. It looks goodPerhaps the worst thing about this film is the wasted potential. With such an all star cast and some flashy choices of direction and cinematography, the Woman in the Window ends up being like a plastic apple on display at IKEA. It looks good but take a bite and you end up with a bad taste in your mouth.

The scriptwriting was odd at best with weird lines being delivered by skilled actors and actresses the best that they could. Pacing was also odd with lulls suddenly bursting into manic frenzy that left me disorientated.

This culminates in a final confrontation which is more slapstick rather than the crescendo of a well crafted mystery. Looked like it came out of another movie like Final Destination.

Terrible.… Expand

The Woman in the Window has a lot of interesting ideas and an stellar cast, but ultimately fails to deliver them on screen.

Tired, unimaginative, and boring movie. The cast of highly regarded artist must be cringing.........

The main thing that got my attention for this movie is the fact that it was mentioned it was about an agoraphobic lady.

As someone who has had agoraphobia for almost 14 years since it started, I was excited to see someone else's view and experience with such a thing. The whole agoraphobia thing did not make much sense to me, it seems that it was caused by a tragic event before in her past that wasn't shown till much later in the movie. Even then it didn't really show what let up to having such bad agoraphobia where she was unable to even go to her roof on her own house!? It wasnt even the roof, it was the stairs which were already inside!? Then she is able to open her window and yell out it perfectly fine!!! That made absolutely no sense. There was nothing apart of the movie to show the feeling of what agoraphobia was, it was more of just a plot in there to keep her housebound. The one thing that ruined it (not much of a spoiler) was near the end she was in a situation where she was unable to return to comfort. Lets just say she was bedridden(anyone who watched the movie will understand) She was perfectly fine, no panic at all!? If you are so afraid to even go to the roof of your own house, you will not be fine bedridden unable to return.

So much potential to build a movie about something not understood well, yet they didn't even do their research much. She has a lot more mental issues that caused more bigger plot points in the movie and they were not mentioned in the description of the film or even mentioned what they were in the movie.… Expand
