Review: The Woman in the Window
Rating
Rating system
A clear explanation of our star ratings.
Didn’t finish watching, qualifies as a movie, just not one people should watch.
spent more time on phone or daydreaming about other movies than watching.
One thing was good (casting, script, dialogue, direction, cinematography, costumes, set design). Everything else failed.
Got a couple of things right, though still not at recommendation level.
Some people may be mildly satisfied with a watch, but can’t recommend to most viewers.
Enough entertainment value to recommend among genre-specific viewers (i.e. There’s enough action for action fans, drama for drama fans, etc.). One time viewing is enough.
holds up within its genre and hits enough elements to entertain viewers looking for more than just that genre’s key features. Can recommend. Might rewatch.
Recommend a watch to most viewers. Hits on majority of quality aspects (i.e. acting, script, etc.) Will likely rewatch. Entertains beyond genre.
Not only should everyone watch this, but it’s close to perfection.
No discussion. Just watch it.

Chris: “I really liked the casting; Gary Oldman is always amazing, and he steals every scenes, as always. The overall story was good as well, but the pacing was too slow for me, and I found myself losing interest.”

Matt: “The casting was outstanding. Amy Adams continues to be amazing and versatile. I loved the visuals of this. A serious nod to Rear Window with the dollhouse/backlot studio build/stage play look and various Hitchcock style effects, of those simple, old-school murder-mystery thrillers, with just the right blend of modern cinema. I will watch this one again.”
alternative viewing
If you want the original rather than the homage, watch Hitchcock’s Rear Window.
