Surprisingly good. I won’t harp on about the lack of positive male role models in this (not a single one) because Kendrick has a valid point to make. It’s very well shot, tense, and has some twists and turns. Well worth a watch.

What could I possibly say about this film that hasnt already been said? Anna Kendrick ACED her directorial debut by depicting the almost universal experience of women when left alone with creepy and/or dangerous men. I was constantly in awe at how she chose to show us the encounters and I loved the choice to focus on the women rather than the killer. It felt like an ode to the victims rather than a study of the perpetrator. I am sick of true crime films that feel more like a sexualizatiom of the killer or a glamorization of the killing itself rather than an honest representation of the tragedy it truly is. Anna does this flawlessly and there were several scenes that captures the horror the victims must have experienced in a way I have never personally witnessed before and am grateful to have experienced. I can see this spanking genuine conversations about the female experience in a way that media usually never successfully accomplishes.

I could appreciate the subtle tension that's simmering under the surface almost from start to finish - there's some good acting in this one, and some good camerawork as well. Unfortunately, as already pointed out, there isn't really _one_ story here, and none of those that are woven into the movie has enough substance to it to stand on its own feet. Which might be the reason why they got so chopped up and haphazardly glued together in such a random sequence to make the final roll of film that is the completed movie. But with all that, it just ended up presenting the chronology of events in a way that's hard to follow. In a story like this, I'd argue it would/should be one of the most vital things to keep track of, and it's exactly what gets lost here. Not to mention the primary part, or what seemingly is the intended primary part the movie is built on... [spoiler]ultimately isn't a key, or even much of a significant element of the whole.[/spoiler]

Woman of the Hour, directed by Anna Kendrick, masterfully recounts the chilling true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala. Kendrick's direction is excellent, building tension throughout the film, particularly during Alcala's unsettling interactions on *The Dating Game*. Daniel Zovatto delivers a creepy performance as Alcala, blending charm with menace, which heightens the film's suspense. The narrative effectively explores the dangers women faced in the 1970s, making it both a gripping thriller and a poignant commentary on societal issues. The film's cinematography and pacing keep viewers on edge, immersing them in a haunting atmosphere. Additionally, the strong performances by the supporting cast add depth to the story, making it not just a portrayal of horror but also a reflection on resilience and survival. This film is a must-watch for true crime enthusiasts, leaving a lasting impression long after viewing. Instagram @streamgenx

Woman of the Hour is most compelling when focused around Anna Kendrick, but despite the brisk 95 minute runtime, it often cuts away from her and her storyline to follow other characters, sometimes at different points in time, creating a sense of choppiness that eventually makes the story lack cohesi More

This killer might not wear an actual mask like Michael Myers does but he most certainly has a mask. ***Woman of the Hour*** is a look at the masks people choose to show you and what happens when you break that façade, do we really More

This is a pretty solid directorial debut. The topic is heavy and very sad but a reality for many. I would say that I was surprised at how this story was told, but it does pack a punch even during slower moments where you don't expect it to. I recommend people read up on the More
