Nicolette Robinson, Autumn Best & Kathryn Gallagher smiling during Woman of the Hour interview
Woman of the Hour is a true crime thriller, but its approach to the material is rather unique. The movie, which begins streaming October 18 on Netflix, follows aspiring actress Cheryl Bradshaw as she negotiates attempts at stardom in 1970s Los Angeles before landing a guest spot on The Dating Game, where she is thrown into the path of one Rodney Alcala.
S creen Rant interviewed Robinson, Best, and Gallagher about their admiration for Anna Kendrick doubling as lead actress and director in Woman of the Hour. The trio also discussed how they stepped into their respective characters, which elements helped them better envision the 1970s — and how despite the movie's"true crime" tag, its themes are just as relevant today.
Kathryn Gallagher: I mean, we're here at The London. We're across the street from Whisky , so I think that's my first thought when you said that. The Doors are at their 60th anniversary. They started right there. I hope that people can come away from seeing this film and have more of a consciousness of that. I think it starts with that, the awareness both between men and women, and just hopefully empowering women to really step into themselves and honor their instincts. Autumn Best: Thank you. I definitely just pulled from a lot of my own life experiences because I feel like the character is so similar to me as a person.
Kathryn Gallagher: Absolutely. I think that Anna was so considerate and intentional throughout this whole process. She really knew exactly what to say and was very open to any question, and she created a set that was so safe to try things in, which I think is sort of the key to feeling safe enough to give a good performance. She was just a real teammate.
Nicolette Robinson: Oh, my God. Well, it's a mutual fan club. We can't stop talking about her. She's incredible. She's just so creative, and she just knows film. She's been doing it for so long and has such a love of film, so we just felt like we were in really capable, passionate hands.
