Woman of the Hour

Very good film and rewatchable, too. Seen it 3 times, so far. Highly recommended.

I hate the idea that production houses try to sell movies by promoting as real story. Attention seekers

Absolutely chilling performances by Anna Kendrick and Daniel Zovatto . . .terrifying!

Slow and boring, I watched it through but found it such a drivel and waste of time. A thriller I suppose but lacking continuity. Based on a real story it says at the end. Don't bother

A poignant film that places much care in dealing with its frightening subject matter. Kendrick shows gritty maturity in her directorial debut and manages to untangle the subject matter in a clever, deliberate and stirring manner. Not only does the film manage to tell a story that should never be forgotten, but it also impecebably highlights the subtle and often times overt ways in which society manages to ignore sexual assault to detrimental effect.

Sooo. Every guy is either a incompetent moron, rude, disgusting, or a killer. But all the woman are smart, independent, and amazing. Like really, this is not how the story went back in the day. Hollywood needs to stop bashing ALL men ALL the time. This movie was annoying. This is NOT the real story, then, or now. Yes, the guy was a disgusting murderer, but despite what Hollywood tries to push, that is not the way the average man thinks or acts. This guy was evil, not all men are like that.

Good story that they didn't make! The most interesting facts were "told" at the end. I don't get it 😞

Such a gem of a film. The timelines take some getting used to, but it helps make the storyline interesting. This is a slow thriller, but in a chilling good way. It's not a fast paced chase where the serial killer goes nuts and chases the women, he just attacks and it is very ominous

This films leaves an impact. Every actress in this film that portrayed a victim showed a differing but real range of emotions and I couldn't help but feel for everyone who was hurt along the way. It's hard to believe that a serial killer appeared on a national dating game show... But, the triumph that comes when the runaway teenager makes sure he gets caught is a win for everyone. Her emotional intelligence in asking him to keep it a secret because she'd be embarrassed herself is brilliant. The film was just the right amount of time (1.5 hours) to tell the store, deliver the emotion and finish off with some details of what happened to Rodney Alcala after the fact. Lastly, Anna Kendrick killed it: both as a direct as an actress. This film really made me want to watch more of her work.

More about how women navigate the strange world of a male dominated society. A bit messy with the timelines and probably not as close to the awful truth as it could be. This is a pretty gripping tale of being in the wrong place in the wrong time.
