Fans of Netflix are raving about the latest must-watch film, Woman of The Hour, featuring the talented Anna Kendrick. This thrilling drama, based on a true story, follows the shocking events of a serial killer appearing on a dating show. Released on October 18, the film has quickly climbed the ranks on Netflix, claiming the top spot as viewers tune in to this gripping tale.
Set in the 1970s, Woman of The Hour sheds light on the rampant misogyny of the era and the tragic fate of the women who fell victim to it. The story follows Sheryl, a young aspiring actress who finds herself partnered with a serial killer on a dating show. Despite only being released a few days ago, the film has been met with high praise, marking Kendrick's directorial debut and solidifying her as a multi-talented force to be reckoned with.
One viewer, RachelLeishman, took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the film, saying, "I loved everything about @AnnaKendrick47's #WomanOfTheHour. Giving victims a story, letting us know who these women were, was such a beautiful touch. One of my favorite dives into fictionalized true crime." The film has also generated a buzz for its suspenseful plot, with viewers like Marisa_Mirabal proclaiming, "Kendrick's debut is a sharp and tense success."
The film is inspired by the real-life story of serial killer Rodney Alcala, who appeared on the American dating series, The Dating Game, in 1978. Acala, also known as The Dating Game killer, had already killed five victims by the time he appeared on the show and was later convicted of eight murders in total. He was sentenced to death but spent his life in prison, ultimately passing away in 2021 at the age of 77.
Some have criticized the film for not being entirely accurate to the events that took place, such as the depiction of Sheryl's character not being a true reflection of the real-life Cheryl Bradshaw. Additionally, the film portrays Acala bragging about attending university with director Roman Polanski, although there is no evidence to support this claim. However, the creators of the show have stated that Kendrick made the decision to have Sheryl ask her own questions on the show rather than the sexist ones selected by producers, adding depth to her character.
