The Woman in the Window (2021)

On paper, The Woman in the Window looks promising initially. You’ve got an all-star cast and the picture knows it’s treading on a well-beaten path with direct references to Rear Window and others. I bet it’s studied these other works to blow our minds!

Child psychologist Anna Fox (Amy Adams) lives alone in her Manhattan apartment and never leaves due to her agoraphobia. When the Russell family moves in across the street, she befriends Jane (Julianne Moore) and her son, Ethan (Fred Hechinger). Shortly after, she sees Jane murdered through her upstairs window. When Anna calls the police, Jane (this time played by Jennifer Jason Leigh) shows up fine. Is Anna’s daily combination of heavy medication and alcohol causing hallucinations, or is Alistair Russell (Gary Oldman) hiding something?

Don’t see this movie for the cast. Well, I should just say “Don’t see this movie” but one of its main draws is the star power. Anthony Mackie and Jennifer Jason Leigh) are so not in the film it’s puzzling to see them in the credits at the end. The rest of the performances are fine but plot-wise, this mystery is a jumble.

The direction by Joe Wright does the uninventive screenplay no favors. When Anna calls the police, detectives Little (Brian Tyree Henry) and Norelli (Jeanine Serralles) answer the call. He’s sympathetic, she’s so abrasive you’ll wonder if she isn’t the murderer. Then, they stand by as Alistair barges in screaming. Isn’t he trespassing? Why is he there? They can't have gone to his place first or the ending makes no sense. You'll see so many illogical decisions you'll be reaching the wine bottle Anna is always clutching to smash it over her head, or yours.

What’s happening with the Jane Russell thing is easily decipherable. Like it thinks we’re stupid easy. The clues along the way are unmissable; as if they were planted not because someone really would lose an earring there or scream so loud they could be heard across the street but so the movie could happen. Her condition may not be her fault but come on. She keeps making dumb mistakes that will allow the killer to get away with it (assuming there even is a killer) AND get herself stabbed (assuming there even is a killer of course).

The one credit I'll give The Woman in the Window is for the conclusion I didn’t see coming. In my defense, it's a ludicrous revelation. Even with the unreliable narrator, there’s no way this would happen the way it does. No matter your goodwill towards the film, you won't buy the lame, conventional wrap-up, complete with a "where'd they go?!" teleport scare.

The Woman in the Window isn’t the worst movie 2021 will offer. The mystery - as easy to figure out as it is - does maintain your interest. Some intrigue comes from bad direction that makes characters seem like suspects when they aren’t intended to be, but I’ll take interesting bad over boring bad any day. My advice? Skip until the very end of the credits, where they tell you what clips of other - better movies - are shown throughout. Watch those instead. (May 30, 2021)

Periodically I enjoy fiction, and my wife suggested this one. I loved it. Enjoy the psychological suspense of an old Alfred Hitchcock movie? You'll want to listen to this. "The Woman in the Window: A Novel" by A.J.Finn. An engaging 14-hour #Audible thriller narrated by Ann Marie Lee. (at Port Of Kingston) https://www.instagram.com/p/B66nkXoFAdW/?igshid=1hpssubp5wb6k

Disney rimanda le uscite di Cruella e The Woman in the Window

Nuovo post su italianaradio https://www.italianaradio.it/index.php/disney-rimanda-le-uscite-di-cruella-e-the-woman-in-the-window/

Disney rimanda le uscite di Cruella e The Woman in the Window

Walt Disney Pictures ha ufficialmente rimandato l’uscita nelle sale di quattro nuovi titoli della prossima stagione, ovvero The Woman in the Window, che arriverà nelle sale il 15 Maggio 2020 (invece che il 14 ottobre), Empty Man, la cui release è ora fissata al 7 agosto 2o2o, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, in arrivo il 23 ottobre 2020, e infine Cruella, che verrà distribuito al cinema il 28 maggio 2021 e non più il 23 dicembre 2020, come stabilito in precedenza.

The Woman in the Window è il film diretto da Joe Wright (Espiazione, Anna Karenina, L’ora più buia) e sceneggiato da Tracy Letts (Ladybird), con protagonisti Amy Adams e Gary Oldman. Si tratta dell’adattamento cinematografico dell’omonimo romanzo di A.J.Finn pubblicato il 2 gennaio 2018 diventando subito uno dei bestselle citati dal New York Times: la storia segue il personaggio della dottoressa Anna Fox mentre trascorre le sue giornate nella sua casa di di New York bevendo troppo vino, guardando vecchi film e spiando i suoi vicini. Sulle orme del classico di Alfred Hitchcock “La finestra sul cortile“, Anna assiste ad una scena che coinvolge la famiglia Russell, gruppo di persone apparentemente perfetto che vive dall’altra parte della strada.

Per quanto riguarda Cruella, il secondo titolo più importante della lista, sappiamo che il live action Disney porterà sul grande schermo le avventure di Crudelia De Mon e che Emma Stone interpreterà la protagonista. Al suo fianco, secondo Variety, dovrebbe esserci Emma Thompson nel ruolo di un personaggio non ancora identificato.

Dietro la macchina da presa siederà Craig Gillespie (I,Tonya, Lars e una ragazza tutta sua e Fright Night – Il vampiro della porta accanto) mentre la sceneggiatura è stata curata da Tony McNamara. Alex Timbers, acclamato sceneggiatore di Broadway e della serie Mozart in the Jungle, era stato il primo nome associato al progetto, tuttavia il cambio di piani di lavorazione e la voglia di affrettare la schedule ha costretto la Disney a scegliere un altro regista e a programmare l’inizio delle riprese l’anno prossimo.
