The Woman in the Window Ratings & Reviews
Slant Magazine
Sean Howe
The Woman in the Window is mostly notable as a dry run for the following year's Scarlet Street.
Film and Felt
Gabe Leibowitz
For much of its brisk running time, The Woman in the Window plays like another balls-to-the-wall gem from the rarely-less-than-masterful Fritz Lang.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
One of the best of the approximately two dozen films directed by Fritz Lang during his two-decade stint in Hollywood.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
The resultant tone of The Woman in the Window is completely unremitting, until it hilariously does remit.
Village Voice
Nathan Lee
A clockwork noir of diabolical determinism.
Variety
Variety Staff
A strong and decidedly suspenseful murder melodrama.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The Woman in the Window is a humdinger of a mystery melodrama.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A masterful film noir from Fritz Lang's rich American period.
n+1
A.S. Hamrah
The dream ending is a negation that moves the film out the door and back into real life.
Parallax View
Richard T. Jameson
... one of Fritz Lang's subtlest films.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Richly styled, inventive detective story.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Plays out with frightening, gripping logic, each new step and new realization suddenly appearing like a cold sweat.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A classic Fritz Lang film noir about the transgression of middle-class morality.
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
It's 'The Seven Year Itch' with a killer hangover, though one does have to read between the lines of the Production Code-imposed morality.
TV Guide
A gripping psychological thriller.
Vague Visages
Justine Smith
While Lang may be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, The Woman in the Window does not live up to his potential.
Midwest Film Journal
Joshua Polanski
Lang locates humor, via gleeful ignorance, in the same place as his drama and thrills - the social structures that define an unsavory and sinful adult life, the weapons of the power that turn us into agents of fate.

This is as standard as you can possibly get for this genre.
