![]() ![]() This last film from Fox 2000 was sold by Disney to Netflix mid-pandemic last year, meaning the cast will attract the eyeballs the streamer needs, while Wright and his crew escape the harsh glare of theatrical exposure. It seems more like the work of a set of individuals than a piece of collaborative film-making ![]() But if you’re going to serve up warmed-over work, surely there’s some sort of artistic honour among thieves involved in doing the best you can with it? The Woman In The Window is far from being a high-water-mark for any of its participants, from producer Scott Rudin on through to a cast which includes Amy Adams, Julianne Moore and Gary Oldman. There’s nothing inherently wrong with being derivative: The Woman In The Window’s source author AJ Finn has forged a lucrative career out of it (sometimes controversially), and the director of this film adaptation Joe Wright could hardly make his debt to Hitchcock’s Rear Window any more transparent. ![]()
