The stranger-than-fiction story of an aspiring actor in 1970s Los Angeles and a serial killer in the midst of a years-long murder spree, whose lives intersect when they’re cast on an episode of The Dating Game.
"Woman of the Hour, Anna Kendrick's directorial debut, explores the story of serial killer Rodney Alcala, who murdered over 130 women. Going beyond the obvious, the film moves away from the perspective of the psychopath, focusing on a group of women who experienced Alcala's violence in different ways. Kendrick and screenwriter Ian McDonald delve into how these victims were silenced by society and reveal the invisible connection between them. By portraying Alcala as a genuine threat, devoid of charm, the film creates tension and revulsion in the viewer, emphasizing the need to change the perspective on gender-based violence."
