I enjoyed this. No it wasn't perfect, parts of it let the movie down but overall it was a tense mystery thriller. If you like twisty thrillers that mess with your head and putting the viewer in the position of questioning the main characters sanity versus reality then like me you'll probably enjoy this. This movie shouldn't be compared to Rear Window. This is agoraphobic alcoholic crazy cat lady who has nothing else to fulfil her days except to spy on the neighbourhood. Enter her new neighbours and her life as she knows it decends into a a living nightmare for multiple reasons. One of the much better movies of 2021.

For sure this one has Hitchcock written all over it. The Rear Window film clip near the beginning, the music, the set-up. But I liked it. Starts slow, but gets better and more tense along the way. Don't hesitate to watch it when you like a good thriller.

First of all, I cannot understand the reviews from critics being SO harsh? I had read reviews pre-watching and was expecting a train wreck, but was very pleasantly surprised. They clearly did not read the book or watch the trailer to see the style the movie was taking before watching. Personally I loved the style of the film, the colour pallette and the set. It absolutely lived up to the book in my opinion- it's completely unrealistic to expect every detail from a novel to be included in a 2 hour film, anything that was left out did not effect the storyline. The performances were great all round, the only negative I can say is that there weren't enough scenes/screen time with the side characters- however this may be down to the extensive reshoots and reworking the film went through. I loved the ending, it really gave the feeling of a classic horror/thriller but through a more modern lense. I highly recommend this movie, think people are being unreasonably harsh and bitter.

I'm normally a fan of Amy Adams. Some reviews say she's great in this movie but I felt like it's her worst performance. The movie was lifeless. The ending was unsatisfying - not because it should have ended differently but because any ending was irrelevant since the movie game me no reason to care about any of the characters whether liking or hating them.

1 hour and 20 minutes of nothing but slow, mind numbing dialogue followed by 20 minutes of rushed wtf just happened nonsense.

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 .

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 was SO looking forward to this movie, but was disappointed because many key points from the book were missing! I think that the things they left out would have clarified and explained a lot of the behaviors of Anna and Ethan. For example, they showed the car crash, but didn't talk about the fact that Anna was stranded for days in that storm, watching her family die (which was the cause of her agoraphobia and PTSD). We kind of saw Anna and Ethan's relationship, but it wasn't really believable. We weren't shown enough of their relationship to understand how Ethan manipulated Anna into trusting him and believing he was the victim. The movie also completely skimmed over the details of the guesswhoanna account, (how it was Ethan on Anna's computer but Anna, being under the influence of the meds and alcohol, thought that she had created and sent the emails to herself).... and the movie didn't even mention Anna's conversation with her online "friend" (who ended up actually being Ethan). Oh, and then there was Bina, Anna's friend..... I could go on and on. If they had included more details from the book, sure, the movie might have been longer, but it would have made more sense. It definitely would have been a LOT more intense and mind-blowing, like the book was.

The movie begins so well. It almost has the hitchcock feeling about it. Only to be spoiled in the final act with a teen horror movie conclusion. The end had no depth and was weak.
