Just when I thought I was out, Netflix pulled me back in. I was very critical of Netflix for offering a summer of lame original movies, but the streaming service is really dropping movies like “Rebel Ridge” at the moment. , “His Three Daughters” and now “Woman of the Hour.” Netflix, I owe you an apology. I didn’t really know your playing.

Starting today (October 18), ‘Woman of the Hour’ is available to stream on Netflix, and you’ll want to make time to watch this crime thriller. I’ve been anticipating the film, which marks Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, for several months, but even with the increased anticipation that comes with significant pre-release hype, I was still seriously underwhelmed.
