Hollywood star Amy and Gary Oldman star in the thriller about an agoraphobic psychologist who struggles to convince her neighbours and police that she witnessed a murder.

Despite its supremely talented cast, viewers were left unimpressed by the baffling twist and the gory ending with “poor visuals”.

One disappointed viewer wrote: “The Woman In The Window had such a great cast but boy that script.

“There were a few nice surprises but otherwise it was a needlessly convoluted mess with some HIGHLY improbable s*** going down. The ending was so hackneyed.”



Netflix viewers were baffled by the ending

Another raged: “I can’t get over the last 15 to 20 minutes of The Woman In The Window. It’s TRULY a bad movie.”

A third shared: “After a two year wait. The Woman In The Window turned out to be the biggest disappointment since the ending of Lost.”

Another added: “I’m not going to spoil the ending for you, but I will say….the ending of The Woman In The Window is ABSOLUTELY NOT worth sticking around for. The ending is really bad with poor visuals.”

The film is based on the gripping, best-selling 2018 novel of the same name by Daniel Mallory.



Some viewers said the unexpected twist didn’t make sense

Her life is turned upside down when she inadvertently witnesses a brutal crime when the Russell’s move in.

All is revealed in the last 20 minutes, a showdowns transpires between 15-year-old Ethan, who is in fact an aspiring serial killer – despite not showing any signs of this throughout the film.

Meanwhile, we discover that he real Jane is Jane and Julianne Moore is Ethan’s biological mum called Katie.
