And, as so many notorious examples have shown, it's difficult for any film to shake that reputation off. In the three years since the film was announced, it has suffered so many delays, reshoots and scandals that it now has the unfortunate reputation of being a "troubled production". But another factor is that the story on screen is less compelling than the story of what went on behind the scenes. And partly, it's because the acting, editing and camerawork are so hectic that it feels as if you're reading a book in the middle of a rugby scrum. Partly, that's because the revelations are so silly that you're more likely to laugh at them than be engrossed. Amy Adams' new mystery thriller, The Woman In The Window, may be adapted from a Gone Girl / The Girl On The Train-type thriller novel, but it's not always easy to lose yourself in its twisty-turny plot.
