On paper, Netflix’s The Woman in the Window had all the components of a total tour de force. The intimate psychological thriller stars the perpetually Oscar-snubbed Amy Adams, is directed by Joe Wright ( Atonement, Hanna, Darkest Hour), with a screenplay written by the brilliant Tracy Letts, based on a mega-hit novel. In its execution, this movie is an absolute mess. With a movie like this, it can sometimes be hard to know where things really broke down. That’s not the case here. The Woman in the Window feels less like a full film than a composite of studio notes—an impression backed up by the numerous reports of extensive reshoots and massive changes made to better please test audiences.
