The Woman in the Window
I can't even express how disappointed I'm. I've been trying to read the book. Then I heard <PERSON> is going to adapt this book into a movie. I felt like WOW! As he already made one of my all-time favorite "Atonement", I was really excited about it. And I've been waiting for the movie ever since. But sadly this is not what I've expected.
"The Woman in the Window" could've been an outstanding psychological puzzle. Instead, it became a fine example of All-books-shouldn't-be-adapted-into-films. The movie couldn't capitalize on the promising concept of the book and thus totally fell flat. There's no depth in plot, no story build-up, no character arcs. 952
Most of the time, it felt like they were rushing, skipping, and jumping from one scene to another. Also, twist and mystery revelation were so terrible. Out of nowhere plot started to reveal. Tbh, I haven't probably watched any film in a recent year with such bad screenwriting. Plus, it's way too many casts, but no one got enough screen time.
There are only two good things in the film. <PERSON> was remarkably good. And cinematography was genuinely amazing and eye-pleasing. Overall, "The Woman in the Window" had a real potential to be a subtle psychological mystery thriller. The filmmakers completely blew it off. 269
