Grade: 2.0/5.0
When “The Woman in the Window” went into production back in 2018, there was buzz about the film, adapted from Dan Mallory’s novel of the same name, being not just a potential future Oscar contender, but a worthy tribute to the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Amy Adams, Julianne Moore and Gary Oldman were all attached to a project with a director, Joe Wright, with a decent enough track record. But then the film slipped through the cracks of the Disney/Fox merger and was spat out by Netflix on the other side. The final product is adequately Netflix; in other words, relatable mediocrity.
