Rob A A creepy, based-on-a-true-story period piece that's definitely worth 90 minutes of your time on a rainy night. Kendrick and Hale were excellent. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Susan J This was a really bad movie. If you look at the highly-rated user reviews you may notice they are accounts created by "people" (i.e., bots) for this one and only film. It is a sloppy boring clunky dishonest movie. I've never been too interested in this actress because she seems overly pleased with herself for some reason, and that same quality comes through here. She is the least interesting character in the story (and could have been the most interesting) but Anna Kendrick had a hand in writing and directing this piece--after it had already been written and someone else was lined up to direct it--and she has changed the story and the real-life person into a ridiculous character acting and saying things the actual person never said (nor would they ever say at that time in history), and instead behaving like a sassy girl-boss circa 2023. It's insulting to the real story, the acting is embarrassing and hard to watch, and unpleasant all around--and somehow the 1 hour and 29 minutes feels like about 3 hours. You'll be exasperated quickly--and wishing for it to wrap up, but it goes on and on and on in it's smug self-aggrandizing way. Terrible. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Callum O In “Woman of the Hour,” the true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala is poorly retold, with the film missing key details to focus on a TV show element. By centering on his notorious 1978 appearance on "The Dating Game," the movie unfortunately trivializes the profound suffering of his victims. It’s as if the creators, in their quest for a catchy title and marketable trailer, failed to truly grasp or research the harrowing realities of the story, resulting in a movie that feels more like a missed opportunity than a meaningful exploration of a real-life horror. The decision to downplay the brutal violence and focus on a sensationalized game show narrative is a profound disservice to the women whose lives were taken and to the survivors who lived through his reign of terror, reducing their tragic stories to a mere footnote of a television spectacle.
