American Woman

Artie Siegal's latest film AMERICAN WOMAN delivers the goods even on a micro budget. The lead actress was solid and definitely carried the film. My other favorite was actor Joe Rosing who was the other half that carries this film. Joe is excellent in this and has a great body of work to prove this. Some cool experimental shots and concepts in this film made it fresh. Exciting action, cool story, great cast, slick direction and strong score was all involved in making this film a great watch. I'm looking forward to Artie's next film and I can definitely see a sequel to this. Support this film and support indie films!!

Worst movie in the history of fim making. Total crew from actors to gaffers are incredibly inept. All the 10 star ratings that family and friends submitted are a poorly disguised attempt to create interest in a production that only needed a truckload of recently used toilet paper to clean up this abomination.

A boldly dark edge-of-your-seat thriller with a challenging female lead who meets the challenge with a carefully gauged descent into outright madness. At times serious, at times crazy funny, a busy visual feast for even the best of filmmakers, and especially challenging for a first time full length feature filmmaker striking out into a world of such heavy competition. But Artie Siegel doesn't shy away or veer from the seriousness of his well authored account, and that mature focus serves him and his film and its talented newcomer actors very well indeed, especially Katelin Stack who delivers a terrific performance carrying most of the often disturbing narrative. The hand held camera does a great job supporting the film's intensely conceived plot.

American Woman, directed by Artie Seigel, is a moody and slow-burning character study that blends a bit of psychological drama with a revenge thriller. Based around on a grieving doctor pushed into a violent criminal underworld, the film shines most in its raw emotional tone and the committed performance of Katelin Stack. Her portrayal gives the story a grounded emotional core that anchors the more surreal and stylized moments.

The direction is confident, often using some murky, intimate visuals that mirror the protagonist's unraveling state of mind. However, the film's pacing may test viewers' patience-particularly in the first act, which lingers a bit too long before the central plot kicks in. The supporting characters, while intriguing, could use a bit of development, making some late-story turns feel less impactful than they should.

Still, American Woman offers a distinct voice and a compelling arc, even if not all risks pay off. It's a smart, brooding film with a few rough edges-ultimately a solid 7.5 or 8/10.

American Woman is a tragic tale of a respected doctor, Molly Reese, who suffers a traumatic incident which derails her into the world of mobsters and stone-cold killers. Instead of falling prey as another typical victim of the underworld she fights back, at first, sloppy and with little confidence. But as her thirst for revenge grows, so does her proficiency in killing the people who deserve it and we all secretly root for their demise. Sometimes we need movies like this, not to go out and seek revenge, but as a safe place to psychologically vent and root for the underdog. Worth a watch when you're in the mood.
