“Good boy.”

From The Woman in the Window.

Stuck in her New York City brownstone because she struggles with agoraphobia, child psychologist Anna (Amy Adams) is stuck trying to balance therapy sessions with her therapist (Tracy Letts), new medications, and her frequent drinking. Anna’s primary interactions with the outside world come from her downstairs tenant David (Wyatt Russell) and the phone calls to the husband (Anthony Mackie) and her daughter (Mariah Bozeman) that she’s separated from. When a new family moves in across the street, Anna doesn’t think much of the rich, somewhat-reclusive family, but when the teenage son Ethan (Fred Hechinger) comes over to introduce himself, Anna sees the evidence of a rough home life in the boy’s actions. Anna’s distrust of Ethan’s father, Alistair (Gary Oldman), is further heightened when she meets his wife, Jane (Julianne Moore), and the two spend an evening drinking and talking with each other. A few nights later, Anna sees Jane arguing with Alistair through their windows, but when Jane is stabbed, Anna passes out trying to cross the street to rescue her friend. When Anna comes to she finds that she has been brought back into her house by the responding police detectives (Brian Tyree Henry and Jeanine Serralles). The detectives ask Anna why she called 911 because Alistair claims that nothing happened, even bringing another woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) over that he claims is Jane. Though initially sure of what she saw, Anna is unable to prove that Alistair is lying, so she lets it go since the police seem highly skeptical of the house-bound woman. While the adults across the street threaten her, Anna tries reaching out to Ethan for help in proving that his mother was murdered, but her search for proof places her in a deadly danger.

Inspired by the A. J. Finn novel of the same name, this thrilling mystery will keep audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Full of mind-bending cinematography and plot twists, will leave viewers questioning everything and searching for the truth as the story unfolds. The Woman in the Window is a pulse-pounding thriller that is a must-watch for physiological thriller fans.
