I understand why many people have reviewed this film negatively. It's not for everyone. If it were meant to be for everyone, the producers would have dug up another comic book character and we'd have another steaming piece of Marvel to stare at for 2 hours. With great production value, I'm sure.
This is a slow burn. I like that. I want to care about the characters before I know (or I am left to determine) their fate. I want to see Jean's transformation-especially since she is simply Eddie's woman for the first part of the story. She starts off purposeless. Maybe a pretty face he didn't marry for her cooking.
Anyway, the plot moves soon enough and we are presented with a crime movie not dissimilar from most crime movies. Except for the transformation of Jean. And the humanity. The kindness of strangers along the way. The touch of a stranger at a laundromat. Some good people.
There are a couple of events in the film that cannot be overlooked. Maybe these events will cause some viewers to find one or two of the heroes irredeemable. (I'm being vague to avoid spoilers.) But at least it gives you something to think about as you watch it.
Also, I love the two Aretha songs (covers) in this film: Natural Woman and The Weight. (Sorry, I had to throw that in.)
If you like independent films, I think you'll like this one. Personally, I am glad I watched it and enjoyed seeing Jean's arc.

I saw this movie on Amazon Prime just the other night and it surprised me very positively, I think Julia Hart directed a very different 70's noir than usual, it starts as a family drama and then becomes a full-fledged thriller, with some even very intense and raw moments. The film takes its time, Hart expands the times, but despite this, the film is never boring and keeps interest alive.
Special mention for the talented Rachel Brosnahan who offers a truly remarkable performance.

I enjoyed it. Sure, there might be plot issues, if you over-analyze it, but I try to not do that. I enjoyed Rachel Brosnahan's acting, and the plot was not predictable. I also enjoyed how much of the action was off-screen, how viewers and the main character did not know what was going on, how the story was told from a minor character's POV, and the relationships that developed.

I laughed when I saw Michael Mann thanked in the end credits. Aspects of the this film reminded me of Thief (1981), Michael Mann's first film starring James Caan and Tuesday Weld. I am guessing that Brosnahan's character continues where Tuesday left off in the film when she was sent off with a guard and a bag of money by Frank, who had a whole syndicate after him. Same situation, Frank met Jessie who could not have children and because the former had a criminal record, they could not adopt either. A child was delivered from a syndicate connection. Thus, a pretty hefty nod to an earlier film classic (and one of my all-time favorites). I think Frank would have been nicer and more competent than Eddie in this film. Same with Jessie and Jean, as in Jessie from Thief would be more competent than Jean, but maybe the former might not have the courage to use a gun, as jean does. Speaking of which, is 'I'm you're Woman' any good? Yeah, it's alright. Not great but not bad either. Sorta dark, not-so-feel-good trying to be a feel-good, but plot sort of T-bones all that. I was chuckling throughout, but I like dark humor. Not bad, it's okay. As for those who complain about the crying kid, eventually he does stop and the story picks up.

I really liked this movie. The story and the acting were really good. Just as the action picks up that's when the movie ends. I don't need action in every movie I watch. I love a good story. There could be zero action in the film. This movie however does have a little action and suspense. I don't do spoilers so I'll say to give this movie a watch. Hopefully the ending works better for you. It definitely wasn't a terrible ending. I think because the acting and the characters were so good that you were left wanting more. Over a good movie and I'd recommend watching it.

With a phenomenal Rachel Brosnahan performance and a powerful story I'm Your Woman is a visually beautiful and emotionally thrilling movie with some amazing scenes. Great direction, very smart screenplay, beautiful aesthetic and great supporting roles. At times it feels like is going no where, especially in the middle where it feels kind of messy. But still, this is a a phenomenal experience that will keep you at the edge of your seat, and it really is one of a kind.

Most of the movie is the lead and a crying baby. The rest falls flat. Good performances from everyone including the crying baby. A lot of time invested on a plot with no return.

The experience of the movie is the experience of Jean (Rachel Brosnahan). That's on purpose, so if you can't handle a crying baby or not knowing what is happening, and only sloooowly figuring out what is going on: yup that's the point. It's annoying, harrowing, and helps explain some of the actions she takes in the movie.
The conceit is to look at what happens to some of the more peripheral characters in the typical mobster movie. When the wife is sent off with a trusted cohort, what happens? How unpleasant is it to not be in the know? To find you NEVER were in the know about anything, and slowly find out the truth of many things about your life.
Even those who rated it well, I will note, say that it's not got action etc. Wrong. It has Meaningful Action. You really, really start learning the stakes, and get paranoid about everything while watching. When there is a sudden burst of violence, it is both unexpectedly all the more frightening, and the probability of a violent outcome are very clear. Violence builds slowly, then happens suddenly. Like reality. People who hold others at gunpoint get shot by people not stupid enough to talk about it first.
Great movie, really makes me weep for civilization at all the low ratings.

Take a slow movie, ad intermittent tension AND a crying baby! I'm NOT your WOMAN to watch this show! If the baby hadn't cried the entire time I could have maybe stood it.

Love Rachel Brosnahan and couldn't wait to see this. I don't need lots of action to find a movie satisfying but this one was just too slow, ponderous, and unnecessarily long, for my taste, though it did pick up toward the end. Guess I will just stick to Mrs. Maisel for my Rachel Brosnahan fix.

8/10 for me. Great acting and kept me on my toes. The crying kid wasnt that annoying...some of you just have low tolerance I guess.

Even the baby did a great performance. I'm a Rachel Brosnahan stan now. The film could've been better but I'm satisfied with what I saw.

I tried very hard to be patient, hoping that it would get better, but gave up. This movie is like nails on a chalkboard. The acting is terrific but the script, plot, and art direction is so drawn out and repetitive! Two-thirds of the audio is the baby wailing which just gives the viewer a headache!

I loved this film. Amazed to see so many bad reviews, likely due to a Michael Mann audience not knowing what to make of Kelly Reichardt stylings. Excellent period design, cinematography, and superb performance by Brosnahan, with a subtle script, heavy on interiority, that allows most of the action to enter without much explanation.
I loved the way it left so much of the chaos and violence off stage, and brought just enough in to validate the terror of the characters, and the way it managed to play on some strong ant-racist and feminist themes without ever commenting on them. If you're looking for Heat, walk on by, if you're patient and motherhood thrills you, you might love this as well.

Stop moaning about the baby crying and watch the bloody film!!
This is absolutely a slow burner and you need to stick with it past the 40 minute mark to really get used to the pace but it is absolutely worth it.
I didn't know any of the principal players but none of them put a foot wrong and the direction is assured.
The basic plot is routine. Criminal husband kills the wrong guy, wife is forced on the run, bad guys in pursuit. But here the female lead is a slowly evolving character who at the end of the film is still on her journey. Throw in strong black co stars who are very much part of the drama and key to the unfolding of the story plus the distraction of a baby and Julia Hart gives us fine riffs on the American crime genre.
A couple of revelation scenes look like they are missing something that was cut and the denouement is perhaps a bit of a stretch but these are minor quibbles that do not distract from a fine piece of work, well paced and well acted.
If only there was more of this about.

Left this one feeling much like Jean feels for the entire film; confused. What even was the point of all this? Unnecessarily slow and builds up to absolutely nothing. Complete waste of my time.

I'm astonished how many reviewers can't handle quiet suspense and subtle acting. This movie builds a personal and eventually gripping story by taking us into the experience of a 1970s wife and mother who has no idea what her husband does. So we follow her slow and scary realizations of his work, his enemies, and his violence, even though we only meet him at the start of the movie.
There's a whole inter-racial story here, too, topical for 2020, and worth seeing just for that story.
In watching Rachel Brosnahan, I was reminded of Ryan Gosling in Drive, and began to think there's a developing genre here, where quiet characters don't let us find out how they feel. what they do, and what they value, until the movie is over.
There's some wonderful acting in I'm Your Woman, personal storytelling and personal camerawork, and many great 1970s outfits. Slow down and check it out.
