Kendrick's directing changes the game. When
true crime focuses on the gory killing of victims,
while it's terrifying, it almost allows viewers to
disconnect, as it is so outrageous we can't
imagine ourselves in the position - likely a
subconscious safety net. Kendrick's talent shines
light on the universal experience of all women.
that split second when the energy shifts, when
alarm bells start screaming in our mind, primal
instinct of danger. The wrong word that gives a
man away, that certain glare where theirs eyes
change, the slight touch, the pace of a man
walking behind you. Our sensory systems a
flooded. Quickening breath, high alert, increase
pace, can I scream, can I run. Which will get me
Killed, slow and quiet or fast and loud. We have
all been there.

I literally said to myself after watching the movie, wow how well directed it is and only then saw Anna directed it!! Amazing work 👏🏻

[lukehart]

Thank you so much for posting the full interview and not hacking it up into segments. 👍☺

[TomGoreReal]

Did not realise Anna directed this. Felt so smooth and natural in a dark way. emotional movie.

[TomReda-mw]

I honestly did not notice her hand in the movie. She gave a terrific performance playing a very lucky survivor. Good film!

[kylietokaji]

I didnt notice her hand until she said something, my goodness such a wise woman at 20 amazing to be under Anna's wing for this movie

[buckycore]

Dang. Anna tering up when Autumn speak those amazing words shows how much love she's got inside her. I'm so glad that those past trauamas didn't steal that light. The world is such a better place because of it

[cornishpasty]

You know, I heard a lot about Ann Kendrick. People saying how terrible she was but she's obviously not. She's a woman with a backbone who fights for herself and other women. The media is messed up. Thanks to Kelly for having her on the show so we can see more of what she's actually like!

[jaylencalinaw]

i truly did not notice the girl's hand until I got to the part where she mentions it.

[jaylencalinaw]

"if it's that important to you guys, i'm not sure if i can make that movie" is such a professional way of saying "i am the director and i am that bitch so let's do it my way" 👏👏

[Dgee_Reigns]

And that's a whole comedian. Not a clown. So much wisdom.

[Princessa_maya]

I watched the movie and didn't notice Autumn's hand difference at all! I was blown away by her performance in this movie. She's a brilliant actress and I hope she's cast in many more films to come!

[BH-oqpz]

She did AMAZING as a director!!!...hope to see more!

[m.i.n.]

so.. I don't know if I'm blind or not or what, but in the movie I never noticed autumn had a disability, I was just absolutely taken with the way her face was emoting... I noticed it now bc she pointed it out. more power to you girl, whoever doesn't cast you cause of your disability, is just an idiot

[GKFF]

Woman who was nominated for a Tony at 12 years old can’t fathom how she has a platinum record… also absolutely watching this movie, been on my list.

[renebethke]

Fun fact: That indie movie she was filming was called Drinking Buddies. Very underrated film!

[myriamhjiej]

When I tell you, I only realised she had one hand right after she mentionned it

[levinemgl]

Autumn Best was awesome in 4400 and it is great to see her getting more recognition.

[LesCish]

Just watched the movie. The story alone is as captivating as it is gruesome and tense. Anna's acting was naturally excellent as was that of Daniel Zovatto, Autumn Best and Nicollette Robinson.

[JenShea]

Must admit, I love the message in the cup song.
