Netflix 'The Woman in the Window': Air time, how to live stream, trailer, cast and all you need to know about psychological thriller film
Spying on your neighbors is never a good idea and it seems that Amy Adams' character in 'The Woman in the Window' learns this out the hard way. According to a Netflix synopsis, "Anna Fox (Amy Adams) is an agoraphobic child psychologist who finds herself keeping tabs on the picture-perfect family across the street through the windows of her New York City brownstone. Her life is turned upside down when she inadvertently witnesses a brutal crime."
'The Woman in the Window' is based on the best-selling novel by AJ Finn. Two-time Golden Globe-winning actor Amy Adams said she was fascinated with the story right off the bat. Adams in a press statement from Netflix says, "From the moment I received the script, I was fascinated with the idea of diving into the insular experience of Anna. And then in talking to Joe, whom I’ve wanted to work with for a very long time, the way that he viewed Anna as somebody who wanted to examine her anxiety in a way that I had never done before as an actress, and maybe as a human being, just felt like something really different and something that I became very excited to dive into.”

However, it was 'Enchanted', that proved to be Adams' first major success as a leading lady and cemented her happily-ever-after in Hollywood. While Adams could have easily been typecast in rather ditzy roles, she went onto prove her acting chops in films like 'Doubt', 'American Hustle' and 'Big Eyes' for which she won two consecutive Golden Globes. Some of her other notable film roles include playing Lynne Cheney in 'Vice'. Adams was recently seen in the Netflix film adaptation of 'Hillbilly Elegy'.
