Diane Lum

I thought the movie would've been far more interesting from the runaway's perspective. Not sure why they chose to center the story around Kendrick's character, whose role is so minimal in the grand scheme of things that it's misleading to call her the "woman of the hour". As this was based on a true story, there are many opportunities to explore Alcala's motivation and back story. Instead, we see snippets of his interactions with some of his victims. His appearance on the dating show didn't seem relevant or necessary to the story as nothing really happens. Notes at the end of the movie fill us in as to what happens to Alcala after he is finally arrested. Even those notes could've made for a more interesting offering in the movie than the focus on Kendrick's character.

Just binged the whole series and it was captivating from beginning to end. Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall have such amazing chemistry that I couldn't help but to root for them to get together. The acting was superb and I bawled my eyes out! I also loved the soundtrack as it takes you back to the 80s and 90s. Such an unique and original concept in storytelling as well to revisit the couple on the same day every year.

Sadly, I was very disappointed in this movie. I had high expectations as it featured two of my favorite things - Wonder Woman and 1984. However, aside from a few fashion clips and some breakdancing, it could've been set in any year. The segment at the beginning was not necessary or relevant to the story. The plot was absolutely terrible and the pace was awfully slow. They even reduced her to a damsel in distress for a good part of the movie as she chose her man over her own strength! Just terrible! The best part of the movie was the cameo with Lynda Carter at the end!
