I’ve been a fan of Anna for years and years, and I am so proud of her for doing such a terrific job directing this movie!

[StockholmNightlife]

Great Movie!!!!🙂 What a start as a Director!! Congrats Anna Kendrick!!! And the acting is on point as well from all actors in the movie! Thanks!! Rest In Peace all victims for this Monster.

[WillPalomares-fxwz]

I really hope she gets a best director Oscar nomination. Greatly deserved.

[AnkitGupta-un]

Her personality is as radiant as her beauty..

[squatch]

Fantastic movie. You would never know she was a first time director. It's so well done.

[saradiyamukherjee]

I absolutely loved her in A Simple Favor.

[CalisthenicsWorldview]

I've heard about this serial killer years ago and was always captivated by it. I think this film's portrayal of how society views women or how they 'should' behave just to justify men's poor, abhorrent misogynistic behavior. It's really well done in shedding light on that and spread awareness.
Side note: I love Anna and is it just me or does Anna Kendrick and Kate Mara literally look identical, I often confuse myself with both lol.

[CrazyMaryJo]

Her acting in this is surgical ❤ Uncomfortable topic that needs airing 👍

[MINJITOZAKI]

[freedreamer]

Anna did fantastic!
also, the timing of this movie is Important to note- as dangerous people are all around us..
and the pathetic response from law enforcement is a very real issue that persists today
blind trust is a death sentence!
every young person needs to watch this movie

[orudnap]

I loved this movie! Keep instructing Anna!

[BeRae]

So humble yet great. Love her singjng voice. I'd buy her album.

[firenze]

Anna really nailed the vibe of being with someone you are just getting to know and getting a horrible, uncomfortable feeling.

[GreenArrowNetwork]

Weeks after watching this movie I'm still thinking about it. Still discussing. That's the sign of a really good movie. Well done, looking forward to seeing what Anna Kendrick works on next.

[pwnzrd]

Really great directing debut. Loved this movie.

[MyWeirdUploads]

she did very well hope shes proud if her work, as harrowing and dark as it was.

Great to see Anna Kendrick (her character here is Cheryl, not Sheryl btw) showing how much more she can do beyond being a brilliant actor. This is an amazingly well crafted movie. Anna has huge skill and intelligence, and clearly she has even more in the tank. Can't wait to see what else she does as a director. She must have faced some awful misogyny in her career, but she brushes it off like a boss. Pure class.

Impressed with the direction of it, not surprised it was a female director based on nuanced moments. 👍
