As usual, Amy Adams' acting is great. This movie is well done. But there are plot holes.
I find it hard to believe people would live in a big city and never close their curtains or blinds day or night. Especially a family with so much to hide as the family across the street.
(And by the way, when the Jennifer Jason Leigh character calls the Amy Adams character and says, "Quit watching my family or I'm gonna call the police." She can call all she wants. All the police are going to do is tell her, "Close your curtains if you don't like it. That lady has the right to look out her windows." Looking out one's windows is not against the law.)
All her bumbling (Anna Fox played by Adams) before her big breakdown can be attributed to her drug and alcohol abuse. But after that, she's just a clutz.
And I find it hard to believe anybody watching a neighboring family through a camera wouldn't just snap the button and take pictures when the incriminating action is occurring.
And why would she flip out when threatened by the friendly neighborhood serial killer? She was going to kill herself anyway. I know from experience, those are the most dangerous people to threaten with violence, because they just don't care.
Amy Adams is terrific. There are lots of big name actors in it. It's done well. But like most movies, you need to just ignore the plot holes. And enjoy what's good about it.
7/10
