Review of I'm Your Woman (2020) by Jluis_001 — 15 Dec 2020
Interesting dramatic turn for Rachel Brosnahan after her acclaimed comedy role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but I definitely think it wasn't the right movie for her.
It reminded me a lot of John Cassavetes' Gloria, although clearly the differences are quite palpable, after all the character's journey here is to teach herself to fend for herself now that she's in a dangerous situation, however it takes a long time for the film gain traction.
Almost the entire first half hour had me intrigued, but not in a good way, but because I didn't know what the hell the story was trying to do.
What I liked was the narrative of self-discovery the main character goes through, because she learns that she's not a defenseless being and must see for herself and the baby, but considering the story is also imbued with elements of a thriller, this aspect of the narrative gets quite relegated, because there's the clear tension of the persecution, but it never feels like they're in real danger, but that they are being persecuted by a flock of incompetents.
Functional in most of its execution, and entertaining if you have nothing to see in the weekend, but ultimately it will become a forgettable experience.
