Why is Netflix woman in the window is one of the best streaming movies in this may

Everyone knows by now that Netflix is an absolute beast when it comes to the sheer volume of entertainment it produces from one month to the next, keeping its tens of millions of subscribers busy enjoying tons of new TV and film content. To use the month of May as just one example, that new supply of content includes everything from Netflix original series like Jupiter’s Legacy, the new Netflix original Korean drama Move to Heaven and Love, Death & Robots: Volume 2 to such Netflix original films as Army of the Dead, starring Dave Bautista, and The Woman in the Window — the latter of which is actually among the top streaming movies across all of the major streaming platforms right now.

That distinction comes via the streaming search engine service Reelgood, which has the Amy Adams-led movie atop its rankings of the most-watched streaming movies for the week of May 12-18. But before you check the movie out, you should probably be aware of a few things first, beyond merely the fact that it’s a pretty in-demand streaming title at the moment.

First, here’s a bit of basic info about the movie, courtesy of Netflix. It’s adapted from the best-selling 2018 novel of the same name from A.J. Finn, and stars Adams as Anna Fox — “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 … shocking secrets are revealed and nothing and no one are what they seem in this suspenseful psychological thriller starring Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Fred Hechinger, Wyatt Russell, Brian Tyree Henry, Tracy Letts, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Julianne Moore.”
