with its superior cast, its intelligent art direction and a filmmaker capable of exceptional work, "Woman in the Window" is like a race car revving in a driveway, with nowhere to go
pretty cinematography and a committed performance from Amy Adams fail to save "The Woman in the Window", a film that aims for Hitchcockian thrills and lands in afternoon TV territory
mysteries of course need to be solved, and the reveal of the who in this whodunnit is a bit like a bad bite at the end of a satisfying meal. Still, there's plenty here to chew on, and the cast makes this a "Window" worth peering into
it's a total flop, a movie that offers nothing in the way of compelling drama or interesting characters; This is a terrible movie made by a lot of very talented people
Amy Adams fails to awaken this sleepy, predictable mystery thriller; between a laughable Halloween segment and ineffective jump scares, the script doesn't offer much in the name of basic genre pleasures
a good-looking, mildly convoluted B movie; Effectively moody but offering frustratingly skin-deep chills, "The Woman in the Window" underestimates its hero in more ways than one
a clunky, messy psychological thriller; The production design and the cast is stupendous, but the film devolves into a steady mess in its second half and it's never able to recover from it
"The Woman in the Window" is the kind of film that could go places, but sadly never manages to get out the door; even with all this promise, "The Woman in the Window" falls apart, devolving into tawdry body horror and tiresome, talky exposition
