Anna Kendrick’s Inventive Serial Killer Thriller Takes Stabs in the Dark
Anna Kendrick makes her directorial debut with the darkly comedic thriller, about a woman who comes face to face with a serial killer on a dating reality show. The movie is available on Lionsgate Play in India.
Sometimes, the wiser thing to do is to scale down. Not every film needs to be a sweeping epic, especially not one that demands a tight telling. Directed by the debutante Anna Kendrick, the darkly humorous thriller Woman of the Hour is based on an intriguing real-life story, but suffers from an under-confident execution. The movie would’ve worked wonderfully as a claustrophobic chamber piece, but feels compelled to jump across timelines and juggle between characters with an haphazardness that only does it harm. Kendrick is like an overeager Indian mum, checking the pressure cooker more often than she needs to, thereby releasing all the steam.
Anna Kendrick's Directorial Debut Is Powerful and Chilling
Anna Kendrick stars in and directs this engrossing real-life story about a serial killer that almost got away.
The saying ’truth is stranger than fiction’ hits harder in films adapted from true-crime stories. The drama feature, Woman of the Hour, tells the unbelievable story of a serial killer who somehow ended up on a dating show as an eligible bachelor in the late 1970s. The shocking story is told by actress Anna Kendrick in her promising directorial debut that is sure to leave an impact.
