Review of The Woman in the Window (2021) by Cosmoa — 04 Oct 2021

The main thing that got my attention for this movie is the fact that it was mentioned it was about an agoraphobic lady. As someone who has had agoraphobia for almost 14 years since it started, I was excited to see someone else's view and experience with such a thing. The whole agoraphobia thing did not make much sense to me, it seems that it was caused by a tragic event before in her past that wasn't shown till much later in the movie. Even then it didn't really show what let up to having such bad agoraphobia where she was unable to even go to her roof on her own house!? It wasnt even the roof, it was the stairs which were already inside!? Then she is able to open her window and yell out it perfectly fine!!! That made absolutely no sense. There was nothing apart of the movie to show the feeling of what agoraphobia was, it was more of just a plot in there to keep her housebound. The one thing that ruined it (not much of a spoiler) was near the end she was in a situation where she was unable to return to comfort. Lets just say she was bedridden(anyone who watched the movie will understand) She was perfectly fine, no panic at all!? If you are so afraid to even go to the roof of your own house, you will not be fine bedridden unable to return.

So much potential to build a movie about something not understood well, yet they didn't even do their research much. She has a lot more mental issues that caused more bigger plot points in the movie and they were not mentioned in the description of the film or even mentioned what they were in the movie.
