Woman of the Hour Soundtrack: A Killer Selection of Songs That Set the Mood!
Netflix's Woman of the Hour isn't just your average true-crime drama; even though it's based on the terrifying true story of Rodney Alcala andCheryl Bradshaw’s appearance onThe Dating Game. It's also a seriously well-crafted film that knows the power of music. Those moments perfectly timed within the plot create such unique impacts throughout. This film deftly uses music to amplify those emotions; making an otherwise simple but devastatingly accurate portrayal of these very real crimes even more memorable; that deep connection that music offers; it is only achievable through such precise musical choices. The film also avoids the usual faux-documentary style you often find in other similar true crime productions. Instead of detailing every single horrific act, it centers aroundCheryl Bradshaw’s experience in a narrow segment within that time-frame – showcasing just how much injustice allowed this horrific criminal to escape detection.
