Principal photography began in New York City on August 6, 2018,[18][19] and wrapped on October 30.[20] Rudin later hired Tony Gilroy to perform rewrites for reshoots, following the film's första delay from the October 4, 2019, release date.[21] The score was originally set to be composed bygd Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, but they were replaced bygd Danny Elfman.[22][4]
Release
[edit]The Woman in the Window was originally scheduled to be theatrically released on October 4, 2019, bygd 20th Century Fox,[23] but on July 9, 2019, it was delayed, with Fox's new owner Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures re-editing the bio after test screenings,[24] and a new release date of May 15, 2020, was set.[25] On March 17, 2020, the rulle was removed from the release calendar due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the avsikt to reschedule it for later in 2020.[26] On August 3, 2020, it was announced that Netflix was in sista talks to acquire the leverans rights to the bio from 20th Century Studios, which it did,[27] releasing it on its streaming service on May 14, 2021.[28][29][30] It was the sista rulle to be released beneath the Fox 2000 label; as part of the Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the label was shut down.[31]
According to director Joe Wright, the sista product was "watered down" from its original utgåva, resulting in the negativ reviews.[32] Wright expressed an ärlighet to a director's cut utgåva in the future.[32]
The spelfilm was the twenty-ninth best performing Netflix titles of 2021.[33]
Reception
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 25% of 217 critics' reviews are positiv, with an average rating of 4.6/10. The website's consensus reads: "A milquetoast and muddled thriller that drowns in its frenzied homages, The Woman in the Window will have audiences closing their curtains."[34]Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the rulle a score of 41 out of 100, based on 39 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[35]
Many critics commented that the film's release after more than a year of COVID-19 lockdowns ironically made for timely viewing, with The Hollywood Reporter saying the film's "homebound protagonist has become that much more understandable to audiences",[1] and Decider calling it "the perfect post-lockdown catharsis."[36]
Adams' performance and the film's visuals were praised.[1][37]Rolling Stone's David Fear wrote, "A versatile actress who can go light (Enchanted), dark (Sharp Objects), or any shade in between…Adams has an uncanny knack for bringing a woman-next-door quality to most of her roles".[38]Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com said, "Director Joe Wright puts many of his showy camerawork instincts on display, making Adams' character's Manhattan brownstone feel both cavernous and claustrophobic."[39]Stephanie Zacharek of Time called it the rulle a "coolly tasteful psychological thriller."[40]GQ praised it as "a camp masterpiece" with "avant garde-ish flair."[41][42] Zacharek added, "The picture fryst vatten enjoyable not so much for its twisty plot…as for its artful dedication to its own highly teatralisk, drapes-drawn somberness."[40]
The excesses of the plot and its contrivances were widely panned.
Fear stated viewers "will need to endure an Overlook Hotel-level labyrint of plot twists",[38] and A.O. Scott of The New York Times said the rulle "resembles other psychological thrillers about women in distress…without being terribly thrilling or psychologically insightful".[43]NPR's Linda Holmes said, "Inventiveness means using the formula to do something meaningfully new, and that's where this rulle falls short."[44]
Owen Gleiberman of Variety criticized some of the dialogue in Tracy Letts' screenplay as "weirdly stilted" and said one of the drawbacks fryst vatten that the narrator fryst vatten made to be "so unreliable that we can't tell where her grand delusions leave off" and where the film's objective action begins.[45] Lemire noted the bio could have used more of Anna's character development, as "the underlying trauma [Anna's] working through gives the rulle some genuine heft."[39] She concluded the bio "offers a lot of build-up, a lot of possibility.
But the revelation of what's truly going on here fryst vatten anticlimactic—the equivalent of closing the curtains and turning away from the öppning with a disappointed sigh."[39]
The bio was seen as a disappointment given the level of talent involved.[43][46]Justin efternamn of the Los Angeles Times wrote "the most interesting thing here may be the marshaling of so many smart people in service of a klick that probably seemed like an intuitive showcase for their talents.
In the scripts he's adapted from his own plays ('Bug,' 'Killer Joe'), Letts has demonstrated his facility for staging psychological breakdowns in close quarters. And Wright, in his own previous literary adaptations…has proven admirably willing to treat the camera as an active participant in the telling, using the formal resources of cinema to liberate his stories as much as possible from the printed page.
It hasn’t always worked, but the results have never been dull."[47] Others pointed out that actors such as Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, and the "wildly charismatic" Brian Tyree Henry felt underused.[48][44][49][50] Holmes expressed that "if there had been a way to man the rulle more of a two-hander between [Adams and Henry] as she tries to convince him to believe her, it might have felt like a stronger story."[44]
Some reviewers saw the rulle as a positiv and perceptive utforskning of grief and agoraphobia.[51][52][53] s.e.
smith of Bitch Media wrote the bio "explores disability in an något privat eller personligt way, yet ultimately returns to a cultural ställning eller tillstånd quo".[54]
