Woman of the Hour, We Live in Time, Rumours

Movie 1: Woman of the Hour

This is Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, and telling the true story about a serial killer who made his way onto the 1970’s TV show The Dating Game. Showing much more than a serial killer, this movie examines the many ways women have to defend themselves in a very male dominated society. Really well done. On Netflix.

Movie 2: We Live in Time

This romantic drama also debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. Toggling between past and present, this is a very earnest heartfelt movie about love and loss, and a relationship cut way too short. Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh are perfect together.
