20 Worst Movies Of 2021 (So Far)

20. The Woman In The Window

Giving by far the best performance in a bad movie this year so far is Amy Adams, who tries her level-best to bring class to this insanely messy adaptation of A. J. Finn's 2018 novel.

Once upon a time, The Woman in the Window was touted as a sure-fire Oscar contender, but after countless delays, a round of reshoots, and an acquisition by Netflix, the writing was on the wall that a dud was incoming.

A shockingly sloppy effort from director Joe Wright (Atonement), this psychological thriller is clearly trying to ape Hitchcock, but save for some sharp visuals and Adams' game aforementioned work, it's a tonally off-kilter, often unintentionally hilarious trainwreck.

As glossy trash goes it's certainly not a boring sit, but an absolute failure of intent all the same.
