Anna Kendrick’s directorial take on a true crime gives a mirrors to the disorientation and disassociation that women who are victims of violence might feel
From the left: Tony Hale , as Ed, Anna Kendrick , as Sheryl and Daniel Zovatto, as Rodney in a scene from Woman of the Hour.There’s a certain power dynamic between the person behind a camera lens and the one in front.
Leading up to this encounter, the film audience has already witnessed Rodney’s violence against several women, as the story jumps time and locations from Wyoming and San Gabriel to New York. On the show, however, Rodney comes off as charming, cool and collected even, masking his dark side behind a casual grin.
The screenplay is smart, using cutaways to flip the narrative from Shirley to Rodney; mirroring the disorientation and disassociation that women who are victims of violence might feel. The writing is succinct, which Kendrick as director uses to powerful effect by allowing the actors to breathe through their performances. Haunting punctuations of cello solos add a nervous energy to the scenes. We don’t get too much of a backstory of Rodney; there’s no attempt to humanize him.
