    My first film of the year was Anna Kendrick’s Woman of the Hour - hugely recommended - an incredibly strong directorial debut with a powerful and horribly relevant message too

    I’ve seen some terrible movies recently (Maxxxine, The Substance) but Woman of the Hour was great and it was all down to Anna Kendrick’s direction. She did a phenomenal job in her debut. Want to see lots more from her.

    The film Woman of the Hour brilliantly portrays how abuse is frequently not taking seriously (it does many other things too) - and still it goes on www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

    #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Another week where the ratings only mean so much. Apex was easily the weakest and Your Name. was definitely the best film here. Safety Last was a real triumph and Woman of the Hour leaves me excited for what Anna Kendrick does next. I had fun with all of them.

    Woman of the Hour is a really good movie. Well shot, well written & well acted. It does have the problem that because it's based on a true story, it doesn't really have a climax per se, but I don't mind that tbh

    Anna Kendrick's directorial debut WOMAN OF THE HOUR is a great film, partially because of the way it critiques our obsession with true crime media and partially because of the way it interrogates casual misogyny. My four-star review for RogerEbert: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/woma...

    Woman of the Hour tells the tale of a struggling actress and a serial killer who cross paths as participants on The Dating Game. This really happened, and it's chilling. Directed by Anna Kendrick, the timely film highlights how a misogynistic society makes it easy for predators. #FilmSky 📽

    Anna Kendrick's Woman of the Hour (★★★★) is both a promising directorial debut and a genuinely unnerving horror film about the way women are forced to walk on eggshells for fear of upsetting the wrong man in the wrong moment. Good performances all round, but Autumn Best is outstanding.

    -Movie- Woman of the Hour is based on the stranger-than-fiction true story. Bradshaw was a bachelorette on the 70's TV matchmaking show The Dating Game and chose handsome and funny bachelor Rodney Alcala. But behind Alcala's charming facade was a deadly secret: He was a psychopathic serial killer.

    She was just confirmed to be directing her second movie soon. She’s kept working but the decline of theatrically released studio comedies means her projects don’t get much attention. Her first film Woman of the Hour was good but got the Netflix movie-of-the day treatment.

    I enjoyed WOMAN OF THE HOUR a lot! The subject matter is tackled confidently as the film skillfully morphs the tone from uncomfortable laughter to something much more sinister. That final section with Autumn Best is some powerful stuff. Kendrick is a legit director, I see you Ms. Transitions👏🏽

  • Glenn Charlie Dunks @glenncharliedunks.bsky.socialBluesky · Nov 13, 2024

    In WOMAN OF THE HOUR, Anna Kendrick is smart to turn her directorial debut less into a film about explaining the hows and whys of a notorious crime, and more about then the red flags and dread that come too often with being a woman in a world of men. Not much comes of centering the gameshow, though.

    Watched #WomanOfTheHour It's not bad, but I'm more interested in the tale of a fictional character in it. Her name is Laura and she represents everyone who tried, to no avail, to tell police about serial killer Rodney Alcala. A better movie, a better story, would've been from this POV, in my view.

    I really dislike the framing of this article as if WOMAN OF THE HOUR is somehow going soft on Alcala by not showing all of his crimes in detail. One of the things the film is consciously doing is puncturing the allure of true crime narratives that center killers instead of victims.
