Montana Woodruff (Women in Film and TV) and Tommy Pullen join Flixwatcher to review Montana’s choice Woman of the Hour.

Woman of the Hour (2023) is the directorial debut from Anna Kendrick and is based on the true crime story of serial killer and sex offender Rodney Alcala. The plot alternates between aspiring actress Sheryl (Anna Kendrick) as she navigates sexism and harassment in 1978 while trying to secure acting roles and Alcala’s known murders from 1971 to 1979. On her agents advice she takes up the opportunity to be a contestant on The Dating Game, also a contestant is Rodney Alcala, a serial killer hiding in plain sight.

Woman of the Hour is a confident debut from Anna Kendrick, she sensitively handles the rape and extreme violence that Alcala inflicted on his victims. Recommendability scores for Woman of the Hour were very high, however, despite its 94 minutes runtime it scored low on repeat viewing to give an overall rating of 3.81.
