I thought this was going to be good but yet again another Netflix failure. How dare they keep increasing their prices and continually present us with rubbish like this. There was no character development, poor storytelling, boring Direction and cinematography. The lead actor female was benign and the Serial killer guy had no character development at all. This could have been done in 40 minutes for the content it had. I watched it all and thought when will it take off but like a flat pack mobile plane without instructions, it never did. I'll never get that time back. Don't believe the hype and save yourself yet more wasted brain time.

This film is a perfect example of why, in the hypothetical question directed at women, "alone in the woods, would you rather come across a bear, or a man?" The majority of women will consistently choose the bear. I thought this movie did a decent job at portraying the way women have to navigate this patriarchal world. (That may be too big a concept for those with small minds, I get it) The line in the movie, "men are babies" really should be changed to the more accurate line, "men are extremely fragile". And I'm talking porcelain doll kinda fragile. God forbid they FEEL cracks in their porcelain - especially by the words and/or actions of a woman. And This is where the fragile guys stop reading. Or angrily leave a 1 star or give a poor review themselves. That's ok little babies - go cry. Artistically, Kendrick did a great job in her directorial debut. The cinematography was above average, and the acting was solid. (I do however think the screenwriter should've included some of the earlier crimes this evil waste committed - like kidnapping an 8 yr old girl who spent months in a coma due to him beating her with a lead pipe after committing horrific acts of CSA. This waste of a human preyed on female children, not just female adults. And the fact that he was able to continue only shows how the US Justice system fails - time and time again - to protect us. It's nice to see a film tackle some of the problems a patriarchal society creates. Silence = death. Btw, for the men who aren't fragile and were able to finish reading this review - kudos. Now IRL - take notice, stand up, use your voice, and do your part. As I'm sure you know, respect and integrity go a long way. (And that's especially true if you want to see the answer to that hypothetical question change some day.)

I was eagerly awaiting for this movie to release. I love Anna and true crime. I was very disappointed, I feel like they could have done so much more with it. It was a tad slow and boring. I wish they would have went more in depth into his killings and his background. It felt rushed. The only good part was the filming of The Dating Game and that's because Anna killed it. The acting was good. I don't really like the back and forth between times, they could have just started at the beginning and went through until he went on the dating game, I think that would have made it more interesting and less boring.

A very engrossing and incredibly creepy film, an outstanding directorial debut for Anna Kendrick. This film serves as a sobering reminder that as women, we go through life as prey. Prey in the physical sense, for sickos like 'bachelor number three' (the real-life serial killer Rodney Alcala), as well as prey to a sick patriarchal system in which we are consistently treated as less-than. The ones down-voting this movie are boys, not men, whose fragile egos can't stand being reminded that they are part of the problem, and really can't stand watching a woman refuse to be treated as less-than, as Kendrick's character does. Her handling of the misogynistic clowns on 'The Dating Game' is brilliant. Later on in the film, the restaurant scene, and her subsequently telling Alcala "I'm not going anywhere with you" is a powerful example of seeing the danger you're facing, and saving your own life. Listen to your instincts ladies, always, they have literally been designed to keep you alive. In a patriarchy that perpetuates treating women as second-class citizens, unworthy of dignity, respect, and protection, we have to be our own best protectors and advocates. Excellent film by Kendrick, I look forward to seeing more of her directorial work.

Set in 1978, Cheryl Bradshaw (Anna Kendrick) is an aspiring actress trying to make it in Hollywood to no avail. In order to get her name out there, Cheryl reluctantly accepts a spot on game show The Dating Game set up by her agent unaware that Bachelor #3 is serial killer Rodney Alcala (Daniel Zovatto). Woman of the Hour is based on the true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala who during his estimated ten years of murders appeared as a contestant on The Dating Game in 1978. The Ian McDonald penned script, initially under the title of Rodney and Cheryl on the 2017 annual Black List of best unproduced screenplays. The project was initially picked up by Netflix in 2021 with Anna Kendrick set to star and Chloe Okuno only for Netflix to drop the project the following year where it was produced independently and with Kendrick now in the director's chair and ironically acquired for distribution by Netflix after it was completed. The movie respectfully covers its subject matter free of feeling exploitative and showcases not only Kendrick's prowess as an actress but also the start of a promising career as a director. Much like 2022's serial killer film The Good Nurse, despite centering around a serial killer that's really only part of what the movie is about as it frames Rodney Alcala's actions within the context of social attitudes of the 70s as well as the world of show business. Anna Kendrick showcases strong likability as Bradshaw portraying her as someone with drive and humor who wants to get her foot in the door while also maintaining her self respect and refusing to stoop to the degrading demands made by casting directors or chauvinistic producers as Bradshaw's encounters are juxtaposed against sequences detailing Rodney Alcala's methodology for enticing his victims by playing up the promise of immortalizing their beauty only to exploit them to feed his depraved appetites. Daniel Zovatto is chillingly good as Alcala as he walks that fine line of being charming while also only barely able to conceal his dark side and it's an unnerving performance because the audience knows from the getgo what he is and how his charm is utilized in the same way a Venus Flytrap lures unsuspecting prey to its demise. While Alcala is legitimately creepy, he's not the only antagonistic force at play as the movie makes clear that elements like societal attitudes, procedural negligence by the network, and the antipathetic and indifferent attitudes by law enforcement are as much to blame as Alcala himself because they failed to recognize and address the warning signs. Despite such heavy subject matter, the movie also manages to find opportunities for humor and catharsis especially during the scenes on The Dating Game where Bradshaw has frank and candid discussions with the make-up Department and also gets to take smug game show host Ed Burke (ably played by Tony Hale) down a peg by effortlessly upstaging him on his own show. Woman of the Hour is a really strong showcase of Kendrick's skills as an actor and director while also documenting a stranger than fiction story and contextualizing it in a way that comments on everything from show business to society's attitudes towards women. The movie never becomes overwrought as there's some good bits of humor mixed in to keep from feeling overwrought and it's one I'm pleased to recommend.

Watching this feels like an unnecessary struggle on several accounts. Let's begin with the storytelling - definitely feels like "first times" from this perspective. Like someone is following "all" the rules and that we are watching the storyteller tick off mandatory storyline boxes of matching words with pictures and scenes. It's akward for them, and wayyyy akward for us. Maybe experience flushes out that akwardness over time - or maybe akward is just that person's flavour of directing and acting? I cannot answer that question because I am still akwardly somewhere in the middle of this "show?" Okay did I mention how awkward and CHOPPY this feels as well? Choppy meaning no cohesion in the changing scenes. I want to grab onto something within this movie so I don't let go (change the channel) and hoping maybe it's going to morph into a "must keep watching to see if the akward gets worse?" sort of watch. The guy playing the lead sort of overdoes the creepy guy bit and making it even harder to grab onto a character to root for (you don't even want to root for his demise because it's hard to care enough for even that). The guy is weird and has a camera - no stretching of the imagination or storytelling there. Again, feels like a cookie cutter piece of maybe "making a film" that you could pull this guy's character and the storytelling puzzle piece and drop it into any other story and just "inject typical serial killer" . Anyhoo, nothing at all to really write about in this film so far. Did I do okay capturing that? (Is how you feel about what you watched and it's content)

I get why it's called "Woman of the hour" but in all reality,should be women of the hour because it was beyond just one female. Not all was bad however feel it could of been different,if Anna wouldn't of directed & acted in it especially as it was her directorial debut.. Feel it can distract a person & affect,quality within that production. Understand it was going for a 70's vibe but had poor cinematography moments,from the lighting in a scene & so forth.. Although based on real people just feel the casting to acting was average,script was dull or dragged with clichés. Sorry Anna but stick to acting or singing,not everyone is meant for more than one career within an industry. If bored or nothing else on,give this a watch.

Autumn Best easily has the standout acting performance in Anna Kendrick's first directorial outing, but Daniel Zovatto as serial killer Rodney Alcala is perfectly creepy as well. The scoring and cinematography are impressive and engaging, and the writing is well-paced and character-driven. I realize this is LOOSELY based on the real story of Alcala's crimes, but the writer(s) got a tad creative compared to the real story (the character "Laura" (played by Nicolette Robinson) never existed, Rodney was bachelor number one, not three, etc.) I also could've used a little more background on him and how he became such a monster. All-in-all this was a tense, interesting, and quite frustrating look at what has to be one of the strangest serial-murder cases of the last 50 years. I see good things ahead for Anna Kendrick's directing career.
