The Woman in the Window (2020)

An agoraphobe witnesses a crime in the across the street neighbor's house.

'The Woman in the Window' is a thriller, adapted from a popular book, like many genre titles of the last 10 years. Amy Adams is worth watching, but many of the situations are a bit too pathetic to be taken seriously. The movie isn't terrible, but it isn't great either.

Director:  Joe Wright   

With: Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Fred Hechinger, Julianne Moore, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Wyatt Russell

Rating: 6.5/10

Ingrid Goes West (2017)

Ingrid, obsedata de oameni pe care ii cunoaste virtual prin Instagram, devine obsedata de o celebritate noua si isi schimba viata pentru a se apropia de ea.

Un film ce ar trebui sa fie comedie neagra, cu accent pe... neagra. Bine facut, portretizeaza corect obsesii virtuale si sociale de care sufera multi internauti care au uitat sa petreaca timp descoperindu-si sinele din cauza obsesiei pentru ceea ce sinele ar trebui sa fie conform modelor  acceptate ale momentului. Coerent pana la final, reuseste sa pastreze atentia si curiozitatea prin interactiuni interesante si oameni aproape naturali. De remarcat robotismul autist al lui Ingrid (Audrey Plaza) cand obsesia ei nu o vede si sarmul natural al lui Dan portretizat de fiul lui Ice Cube.

Regia: Matt Spicer (co-scenarist)

Cu: Audrey Plaza, Elizabeth Olsen, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Wyatt Russell

Rating: 8/10
