A Woman at the Window at first glance the plan looks like a version of Girl on the Train. But it does not mean more than that. Based on AJ Finn's anonymous book, the film is directed by Joe Wright (Pride and Prejudice, Atonement)
Amy Adams plays the role of Dr. Anna Fox, an agoraphobic pediatric psychiatrist who lives in a town house across the street from the newly acquired home. According to Dr. Fox, she is separated from her husband Ed (played by Anthony Mackie) and often consults with her mental-health professional as she wanders around alone and is afraid to leave her home.
Alistair Russell (Gary Oldman) and her son with tuberculosis Ethan Russell (Fred Hechinger), who have moved to a home on the other side of the street, left a lasting impression on Anna. While Alistair is not paying attention, Ethan is very fond of Anna. He also meets Ethan's mother (Julianne Moore) who is far away from Alistair; he is aggressive, plays a few tattoos and curses like a sailor. He and Anna have a surprisingly drunken night with the amount of wine for Real Women of the House and the said drugs - you know, build some connection.
Things change when one night, Anna peeks through Russell’s unlocked windows and sees her new friend being stabbed by an unknown assailant. This marks a strange drop in shock, which will confuse the highly activated viewer. In the midst of all this, Anna's landlord, David (Wyatt Russell) who lives in her basement, realizes her instability and although it seems that her intention is to be Anna's helper and alibi, the story will not be honest. much change in his absence.

As we watch Anna move, Ethan collapses under his father's rule, Alistair bounces everyone moving, it's hard to empathize with anyone - including Anna - and reading this book creates a better tension and fills the building blocks. full of film.
There are a few projects where the points go beyond the film - this is one of them, with Oscar-nominated points by Danny Elfman. The film’s immersive sound design, thanks to Paul Carter, incorporates occasional showers, steps, moving stairs and David’s nightly performances, all designed to make Anna question what is real or not.
The film is full of clichés and suffers from déjà vu all the time over the amazing concept of disconnect between actors. It is unfortunate when considering the immense power of the star. The woman at the window promises a lot but in the end she delivers well. Also, if you can find some of the tried and tested strings of this type of 'Lifetime' competition, the identity of the killer will not surprise you at all.
