The detectives, the downstairs tenant, the neighbors-hell, even little Ethan, the neighbor teen-all think she's bananagrams. Not only is Julianne Moore alive, but she's also suddenly played by Jennifer Jason Leigh. And as Taylor Swift once said on the lukewarmly received album Evermore, no body no crime. Problem is, when Anna reports it, there is no body.
Oh, yeah, and then when rude Julianne Moore goes home, Anna sees her get murdered by her husband through the window.
Meander ending explained movie#
("How nice," I thought, "finally a movie about me!") What follows is a meandering film how Anna takes calls from her estranged husband, falls asleep watching psychological thrillers, makes friends with a teenaged boy from across the street, and has Julianne Moore over for a wine date during which she walks around and is like, "What a shitty house!" which is not just rude but completely untrue. Instead, Anna stays inside, talks to her cat, mixes mood stabilizers with wine, and spies on her neighbors. She can't leave her house because she's scared of the outdoors. Amy Adams leads the thriller, adapted from Daniel Mallory's allegedly ripped-off debut novel, but no dose of Amy Adams can save the atrocity that is The Woman in the Window.
Four days have passed since The Woman in the Window was released on Netflix, which is about the amount of time you need to fully digest what happens on the screen over the course of the movie's 90-minute run time.
