It’s an exciting ride, but with a wallop of genuine feeling underneath that makes it one of this year’s best films. Read full review

Richard Roeper

Dec 10, 2020

With spare and precise dialogue that often sounds inspired by Dashiell Hammett, a labyrinthine story with a few heart-stopping twists and pitch-perfect performances by Brosnahan and the supporting cast, this is one of the best movies of the year. Read full review

Brosnahan trades in the quick quips of Mrs. Maisel for a quieter intelligence and vulnerable uncertainty. Read full review

Hart is interested in scrambling our sympathies yet not deft enough to manage where they land, and the female buddy movie I’m Your Woman wants to be unintentionally ends up feeling like a story about a Black couple as seen by their less interesting white acquaintance. Read full review

If you’re willing to be patient, the characters become richer, the narrative takes more risks and the set pieces are more enthralling, like an engrossing disco sequence and a lumbering car chase in giant, period-accurate sedans. Read full review

Conversation is pause-heavy; smiles are fleeting and tight with anxiety; the plot is a knot. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Oct 16, 2020

This is the kind of movie where the most dynamic thing in every scene is the art direction, followed by the natty retro costumes (which Jean must have used the cash to buy, since she didn’t have time to pack), and only then comes the people. Read full review

Jean (Rachel Brosnahan) is a woman about to have her world upturned. Unable to have children her husband Eddie (Bill Heck) comes home one day with a baby boy and tells her that this is their new child.

Unable to have children her husband Eddie (Bill Heck) comes home one day with a baby boy and tells her that this is their new child. In the new Amazon Original Film “I’m Your Woman”; Jean is unexpectedly forced to go on the run with her child when an associate of Eddie tells her that things have gone very wrong and they must flee right away.

It seems Eddie is more than a simple petty crook and has upset the wrong people resulting in Jean being forced into hiding. Her protector Cal (Arinze Kene); offers few answers about Eddie’s fate but tells Jean that the danger is very real.

The fact that Cal is African American and driving a white woman and her baby around in the 1970s does raise some eyebrows and makes keeping a low profile even harder. This results in Cal setting Jean and her son up in a home with instructions to not speak with nor befriend anyone and to only plug in the phone and call a number should danger arise.

What follows is a steadily paced film that does not fall on the usual Hollywood tropes of extended action scenes and chases as Jean attempts to stay alive and get away from the danger that has taken over her life.

The film is a departure from her Mrs. Maisel character and it is refreshing to see an interesting story that is content to move at a steady pace and develop characters versus the need to insert an action scene in every 10 minutes.

The cast and story are engaging and the film makes for a very entertaining watch and one well worth a look.
