Leave your thoughts about Open Windows.
| Austin American-StatesmanCharles Ealy[Open Windows] ranks as one of the most inventive films of the year, even if it is a bit head-scratching at times. |
| Film RacketMike McGranaghanIngeniously structured, masterfully executed, and enormously entertaining. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfOverplotted and underwhelming, the feature gets by on sheer novelty for a considerable amount of time, only to be shut down by the helmer's refusal to play the premise as economically as possible. |
| The Film StageEthan VestbyOnly by the film's final third does it realize the proper sense of escalation. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovOpen Windows has plenty to say about both the death of privacy and the dominion of the always-connected digiverse we now inhabit, and editor Bernat Vilaplana does a remarkable job of keeping the film’s frenetic pace rushing headlong toward an ending that you’ll never see coming. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoOpen Windows goes from crazy to Crazy to CRAZY, but maintains enough energy and cultural currency to keep the entertainment value high. |
| Grolsch Film WorksAnton BitelBy the end the narrative manipulations of Vigalondo's films become too convoluted for their own good, but it is a fun ride through our new virtual existences. |
| HeyUGuysJon LyusWhilst it is a world that looks similar to ours, it exists separately, functioning by a set of implausible possibilities that add spice to the magic of the silver screen and the events that play out upon its stage. |
| VarietyJustin ChangA fiendishly inventive thriller built around an audacious if unsustainable gimmick, Open Windows elevates Hitchcockian suspense to jittery new levels of mayhem and paranoia. |
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinDirector/writer Nacho Vigalondo has crafted a clever storyline that keeps us engaged throughout. |
