Anna Kendrick as Sheryl in Woman of the Hour.
Leah Gallo/Netflix
Netflix’s Woman Of The Hour is not your conventional serial killer movie. It’s based on the true story of a serial killer who appeared on The Dating Game in the 1970s. But it’s also about the women who became — or almost became — his victims. Directed by and starring Anna Kendrick, it’s a tense, thoughtful film that has much to say about the systems that make life easier for dangerous and otherwise crummy men.
