- Excerpt: If this is where Kendrick’s directorial career starts off, I can only imagine the heights she will go.
- Excerpt: Succeeds in depicting a culture that objectifies women, but it doesn’t dive into the procedural errors that made Rodney Alcala’s murder spree possible.
- Excerpt: When the victims are pawns for the cat and mouse, it becomes about glorification versus abhorrence. When the victims become the point, we see the micro-expressions and backtracking and desperation.
- Excerpt: Anna Kendrick’s solid directorial debut, Woman of the Hour, is a tough, uncomfortable examination of patriarchal misogyny and sexism.
- Excerpt: If ever there were a movie that exemplifies the recent viral social media phenomenon known as “Man or Bear,” in which women are asked if they would prefer to be alone in the woods with a man or a bear, it’s Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, Woman of the Hour.
- Excerpt: It ends up being a mesmerising thriller, through which Kendrick demonstrates a keen eye for image composition, blocking, and camera movements. It’s a fictionalised true story that ends up feeling depressingly relevant.
