Anna Kendrick has shown time and time again as a star on the screen, with numerous hit roles in projects like Pitcher Perfect, A Simple Favor or her Oscar-nominated turn in Up in the Air. But Kendrick may have just as much talent behind the camera as she does in front of it, as evidenced by her new Netflix movie Woman of the Hour, which served as her feature directorial debut.
Now streaming on Netflix, Woman of the Hour has quickly taken over the most-watched movie spot in the US and UK since its release worldwide on October 18. In addition to the recognition for Kendrick, the movie’s true crime story about a woman who encounters a serial killer when she appears on a hit 1970s TV dating game show certainly appeals to Netflix subscribers’ penchant for the true crime genre. Strong word of mouth doesn’t hurt either, as the movie is “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a 91%.
