Looks great & easy to install
It arrived well packaged, but I was worried at 1st because it appeared to be see thru when 1st saw it. Fear disappeared when I held it up to window tho -- it looked very different & much better! Just as many of the other reviews state & show, there are beautiful rainbow prisms that highlight the area when the sun shines thru, too.
As for privacy, it does decent job while still allowing light to enter. You can still see blurred outline of everything, but definitely not clear vision of anything (day or night).
As for installing, I found it pretty easy. To cut it to fit, I left the back cover on the film & used 2-sided tape to help hold/hang in window, then took sharp exacto knife to cut along edge. I then removed, cleaned the windows (using razor blade for any tape residue & coffee filters for streak-free clean...not that this is really needed, but great tip for cleaning other windows/mirrors in your home!), and then I lightly sprayed my diluted cleaning mix again on windows right before putting the film back up.
Before you put the film on the window, be sure to remove the back cover on it. To make this easier, just grab some tape, place a piece on each side near a corner & pull to separate them.
Place that side of the film that was covered against the window you just dampened. You can lift & readjust film if/as needed. Then I just used a dry cloth to help smooth out the bubbles. Turned out great! I love knowing I can remove it fairly easily, too, if I ever move &/or want to change the look again.
