Woman Of The Hour Soundtrack Guide: Every Song & When They Play

Warning! This post contains spoilers for Woman of the Hour.

Woman of the Hour not only walks through a gripping true-crime drama but also effectively enhances the emotional heft of its story by coupling some of its crucial moments with immersive background scores. Set in the late 1970s, Woman of the Hour avoids adopting a quasi-documentary style like more Netflix true-crime dramas. Instead of walking through Rodney Alcala's long line of murders, the movie primarily revolves around a segment of his timeline, revealing how many systemic issues and injustices towards women allowed him to get away with his criminal actions for a long time.

Throughout its runtime, Woman of the Hour features scenes that only have strong dialogue with no unnecessary background scores. However, there are other moments in the film where the background songs play a crucial role in setting the emotional tone and atmosphere of its story developments. Considering how music effectively complements the narrative in many scenes from Woman of the Hour, many viewers may be curious about which songs play when in the film.
