Kendrick’s fantastic directorial debut “Woman of the Hour” centers on Rodney Alcala, who appeared on “Dating Game” while in the midst of a real-life rape and murder spree.
. A true-crime thriller that also operates as a damning commentary on societal misogyny—especially in Hollywood—it’s as chillingly sharp and canny as its deranged fiend.
Things aren’t better back at Cheryl’s L.A. apartment, where her only friend is a fellow wannabe thespian who bristles at Cheryl uncomfortably laughing in response to his putting her hair behind her ear. Conditioned to please men by her profession , Cheryl smooths things out by sleeping with him, only to regret prioritizing his desires over her own.
At a concise 89 minutes, the film moves at a brisk clip, and its larger notions come across as natural outgrowths of its action. Kendrick is her usual captivating self as Cheryl but it’s her directorial work that’s most assured. With her poised visual compositions generating unease and reinforcing her thematic preoccupations, the actress proves to be as comfortable behind the camera as she is in front of it.
