Note for context: I saw this on a plane to Asia. In that setting - simply spending time and being interested as I did so - the film did very well. The original Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick, by comparison, were just video game images for me - cool, but I saw them long ago I'm the orignal Star Wars. Zoe Kravitz's character is a strange young chick, but I happen to know a young woman who basically now refuses to leave her apartment - COVID has caused a latent fear of the outside to grow unchecked. So t did not seem impossible that she can't get herself together to go out, and therefore turns to a Rear Window way of engaging with the world. I liked Soderbergh's creepy "Side Effects" and I found more of the same general creepiness here - yes, it's a mash of other films (Rear Window, Run Lola Run, The Conversation came to my mind) - but that's ok, and I wasn't bothered by things that have annoyed others. Definitely the most engaging of the six films I watched in the last 14 hours. . .
