As pulpy thrillers with unreliable narrators go, this was a suspenseful blast (those critics that called it boring, I would imagine their entertaining would probably give me a heart attack) with a pretty satisfactory reveal at the end (as inAs pulpy thrillers with unreliable narrators go, this was a suspenseful blast (those critics that called it boring, I would imagine their entertaining would probably give me a heart attack) with a pretty satisfactory reveal at the end (as in it ties up all the loose ends and doesn't leave plot holes unanswered like lot of these thrillers tend to). One thing I did find quite jarring was the final 20 or so min of the the film where it moves from moody set piece to all out horror movie but it certainly kept me on the edge of my seat. Never read the book so I can't compare the two mediums. While there is nothing remarkably new about the story it's telling (it's literally a copy of a copy of a copy of countless other plots in this unreliable narrator genre all meshed into one), I found it to be well executed and acted (Oldman goes a bit overboard and chews the scenery whenever he's in it and Jennifer Jason Leigh who did "unhinged" to perfection in Single White Female barely registers here) and it has a menacing, almost claustrophobic atmosphere to it (which suits the theme of the film perfectly). In other words, this is the perfect Friday night movie to jam to in these covid times.… Expand

The woman in the window is a 6 overall but compared to the rest of the Netflix catalog it is certainly a 9.

This is a surprisingly disturbing thriller. Amy Adams is worthy of all the awards in the world for her performance.

This riff on Hitchcock-ian Thriller is essentially a modern retelling of Rear Window. It is well acted and surprisingly filled with a lot of A-listers. A pretty good watch especially yet not exactly a theatre going experience.… Expand

Do not get confused by the critics, this movie is not half-bad. It delivers well the view of the world, and the psychology of a person who suffers from agoraphobia.

It was OK... maybe not a master piece. But I enjoyed it and I did not expect the ending twist...

Filme MARAVILHOSO, a crítica pegou ranço em algo que era pra ser assim, Amy digna de Oscar nem é preciso dizer, o filme é dela, o brilho da sua interpretação chegou em mim sem esforço. Ameii demais.
