Anna Kendrick's Woman of the Hour turns a true-crime footnote into a smartly told thriller
MARA REINSTEIN
A Serial Killer Who's Out to Get the Girl

Oscar nominee (Up in the Air). Popular actress (Pitch Perfect, Twilight). Tony nominee (High Society). Memoirist (Scrappy Little Nobody). Everybody knows Anna Kendrick is a talent. But by starring in and directing Woman of the Hour (Netflix, Oct. 18), she outdoes herself. A deft balancing act of close-your-eyes horror, taut suspense, black comedy and disturbing sociodrama, this film marks one of the most impressive actor-director debuts in recent memory.
