Some of Sheryl’s bad experiences as an aspiring actress mirror those of Anna Kendrick
Plot
Sheryl Bradshaw, a single woman seeking a suitor for a hit 1970s television series, chooses charming bachelor Rodney Alcala, unaware that behind the man’s gentle facade lies a deadly secret. The IMDb staff has compiled a list of some notable films directed by women in 2024. The comment about Sheryl’s breasts is “taken verbatim from something that happened to me when I was 19.” The coins stolen from the laundromat are modern quarters.
Not from 1979 or earlier
You can see 3 different Washington heads. These would be quarters from national parks and later mintings. Ed: This signals the end of our game.
So, Cheryl, it’s time to make a decision!

I really like what she did with this film, it just felt like something was missing
Woman of the Hour follows the story of serial killer Rodney Alcala and his appearance on the game show The Dating Game. If you’re like me, I knew nothing at all about this story before the film, so it was really interesting to watch. This is a good film, but not a great one, but Anna Kendrick did a great job in her directorial debut.
Aside from a few scenes, it lacks the tension that could have made this a really great thriller
Regardless, this is a solid film that is definitely worth checking out, and I hope we see more of Anna Kendrick’s directing in the future! No need to waste time scrolling endlessly—here’s the full lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
