A 7.2 rating !?!?

This was pure perfection, the whole time I knew it was only 20 mins and wanted a whole movie. It was a short film at its finest. Beautifully shot and editing. I loved every single minute of it.

The Neighbour's Window Is Better Than Mine

It slightly reminded me of Hitchcock's Rear Window. On one hand, it summarizes life pretty well, one minute you're having crazy wild sex not caring if the whole world is watching and then you blink and voilá, have kids, a house to pay, and your life becames monotonous and boring and it seems you're just waiting for death to arrive. On the other hand, you may seem you have it all, either kids, husband, house or parties, boyfriend and a house) but there's always something missing as nothing can be perfect in this world. I really enjoyed it. the story is good and well written and the cast have very good performances! Congratulations to Curry for yet another Oscar nomination and I recommend you go see it!

Amazing short film

I don't get people who say this isn't Oscar worthy it is. What makes this short so good as it's simplistic filming style, that feels very real. The story of how we all thing everything is greener on the other side, yet it's not. This could also be seen as a metaphor for social media, we see only a sample of some one's life from the outside, we see the good. But behind everyone's life story is something sad. I loved how this was done. Ending was not what I had thought was going to happen.

it's not always what you see

Marshall Curry's Academy Award-winning short "The Neighbors' Window" has drawn comparisons to "Rear Window". One can see the similarities. Overall, my interpretation of it is that what you can see doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. Meanwhile, the protagonists have their own problems to deal with.

This is the first of Curry's works that I've seen. I've been trying to watch a number of Oscar-nominated shorts recently; what else am I supposed to do during the coronavirus quarantine? I've liked every one of these shorts that I've seen, and I have no doubt that you'll like this one.

The Grass Is Always Greener on the Other Side

One night a couple spy on their neighbors enthusiastically doing the deed and they're naturally transfixed and amused. Life goes on but the woman can't get her eyes off her seemingly better off nearby residents and armed with binoculars continues her journeys into voyeur land. With the passing of time reality kicks in and the balance of life sobers the woman into awareness and insight. This is an uninspired but watchable short that paces into an anticlimax straining for its moral message. Winner of an academy award this is a spinnable and insignificant finger-tapper in cinematic brevity. "Count your blessings"!

Wissenswertes
In a 2019 interview with Filmmaker Magazine, Marshall Curry detailed key aspects of the production and storytelling: "It was a production challenge to find two apartments that faced each other. I knew if we tried to cheat it, the audience would feel the falseness. So I looked and looked, and in the end we shot in a very generous friends' apartment, and their neighbors also said okay... The passage of time is an important part of the story - how Alli's obsession with the neighbors develops, and how the neighbors' lives change over the course of 18 months. That's tricky to squeeze into a film that's not even 20 minutes long. So we had to build in clues that communicated the passage of time - weather changing, holiday decorations, infant appearing and growing, etc. It's always a delicate balance between being too obvious and on-the-nose with those clues and being so subtle that people miss it altogether. When I was editing I would show people cuts and ask them at the end how much time they felt had passed. I'd add a few more clues or take a few away until I settled specific shots and specific durations in the final cut."

When Alli is alone in the apartment and watching the neighbors, the binoculars are visible on the window sill, but when she wants to use them, suddenly they are in a desk drawer.
