Woman of the Hour is a film that men should see accompanied by a woman. The reactions and truth of them from women during this movie might be the only way someone like me (a white male) can even begin to glimpse the gravitas of what it is like to be targeted because you are deemed defeatable in a physical struggle. Anna Kendrick as Cheryl Bradshaw is not the story of this film. Anna Kendrick as the director who inherently knows how to portray this deplorable action to the viewer in the perfect weight while maintaining a level of humor, sharpness and pace to her debut directing project gives many characters depth while never seeming to overdramatize any particular situation. One can only hope more brilliant scripts are hitting her front door with vigor asking for her behind the camera as well as in front.
