The Bedroom Window Reviews
...an exceedingly familiar yet predominantly entertaining piece of work...
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 22, 2023
... the script relies on leaps of logic and contrivances to make key scenes work [but] Hanson is a skilled director of suspense and draws the audience into the self-made trap created by the well-meaning hero.

"The Bedroom Window" requires a pretty hefty suspension of disbelief, but then delivers enough of the goods to make it a moderately entertaining thriller that is very consciously in the Hitchcock mode.

"The Bedroom Window" gets you going. Though it doesn't quite match the master's touch for gripping suspense and sophisticated storytelling, it's close.

Guttenberg, not exactly an actor of great depth and texture, Is perfect for what the part demands, a mixture of callowness, cupidity and Boy Scout earnestness.

In this age of the non-thrilling thriller, "The Bedroom Window" is a surprise and a relief. It's one suspense movie that really is suspenseful.

Writer-director Curtis Hanson reworks elements we've seen many times before, but he does so skillfully.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 14, 2021
At nearly two-hours, the initial interest evident in the premise evaporates by the third act, and gives Guttenberg the chance to prove his inability at generating chemistry with both Huppert and the film's lead, Elizabeth McGovern.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2020
The profound moral of The Bedroom Window is: Don't have an affair with your boss' wife, because she might witness a crime from a place where she isn't supposed to be. You could get fired that way.
