The film, which Kendrick told The Independent is the “ most revealing piece of work I’ve ever done”, focuses on Rodney Alcala, who appeared on The Dating Game, a Blind Date style show, in 1978. Alcala was 35 years old when he appeared on the show and had reportedly already murdered at least five people, including a pregnant woman and a child.

Anna Kendrick’s ‘’Woman of the Hour’’ is a sometimes awkwardly plotted but consistently insightful thriller about the anxiety of the female experience.
