   The Woman in the Window is available exclusively on Netflix on May 14.

   Delayed in production due to reshoots, then in release due to the pandemic, star-studded The Woman in the Window is now a standard slice of elevated pulp for Netflix. Based on the bestseller by A. J. Finn, the film's a stylistic homage to Hitchcock's Rear Window and other paranoid thrillers of yesteryear, flaunting its idolatry quite a bit, even having Amy Adams' character watch many of these cinema classics from the confined comfort of her couch. And yes, it's fun to watch famous faces go full-tilt with a camp thriller, one with echos of Hitchcock acolytes De Palma and Demme, but overall the story offers up very little in the way of substance or suspense.

   Instead of being holed up because of an injury like James Stewart's protagonist in Rear Window, Adams plays a wallowing agoraphobe, Anna, who, in the midst of altering her medication (and drinking heavily while on said meds), believes to have uncovered a ruthless plot and a nefarious crime centered around the new family that's moved in across the street from her in Morningside Heights, Manhattan. Beset on all sides by red herrings and notably haunted by a recent tragedy, Anna begins to unspool and unravel into the type of spiraling, self-destructive mess that Adams has perfected in recent years in Hillbilly Elegy and HBO's Sharp Objects.

   The Woman in the Window has both flash and fizzle. Amy Adams is great in the lead role, presenting us with a shattered recluse who wages war on lucidity daily, but the rest of the cast, while noteworthy, are sort of relegated to being plot pawns. Still, if you're looking for a higher class of claustrophobic Noir, and don't care too much about the r...

   May 14, 2021 · Based on a 2018 book of the same name (and written by Daniel Mallory under the pseudonym A. J. Finn), The Woman in the Window is about as Hitchcockian as 21 st-century thrillers come. Its conceit owes a lot (and pays explicit homage to) Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window.
