Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A strong and decidedly suspenseful murder melodrama.
It's not merely a dazzling piece of suspense, but also a characteristically stark demonstration of Lang's belief in the inevitability of fate.
The Woman in the Window is a humdinger of a mystery melodrama.
A masterful film noir from Fritz Lang's rich American period.
