  Review by Cinematic Underdogs ★★★★½ 9

  I am truly bewildered by the lukewarm response this film has received thus far.

  One of the most common and justified complaints about gangster movies is that they too often ignore the female perspective, and ignore it entirely.

  In my opinion, I’m Your Woman masterfully fills in this void.

  From the first shot to the last, this lean film offers a gripping, violent, and tense ode to motherhood—doggedly persevering in a world where domestic normalcy is estranged and upended by vacant spouses, criminal networks, and the ever present specter of death.

  Written and directed by a woman—the promising Julia Hart—I’m Your Woman is precise and measured: each shot, each line of dialogue, and each plot development steering the film forward…

  Review by matt lynch ★★★½

  A tad frustratingly slow and eager to eschew as much genre trapping as possible; that's good, that's its project, just not my preference. Such as it is though, that project is a quietly ambitious and productive one, and as the snowball rolls downhill this becomes simultaneously more nuanced and more exciting. Brosnahan is great but MVP Marsha Stephanie Blake playing a character who has clearly been through it in an older movie this could be a sequel to, something I would very much like to see.

  There is so much here that I was trying (TRYING) to do with Run that I couldn’t and that Julia Hart and Jordan Horowitz did successfully here and it makes me mad!!! Love the pace, love the colors, love the trust in the audience and holy shit absolutely love the fucking framing.

  Julia Hart’s Fast Color was one of my favourite movies last year and now I’m Your Woman is one of my favourites of 2020. A delectable ‘70s, cream coloured noir that’s gripping from beginning to end. Masterfully shot, written and acted. Rachel Brosnahan...her range! Her wardrobe!

  Review by Vince The Cinephile ★★½ 2

  Director Julia Hart presents a subversive, cinematic conundrum of “what happens with the gangster’s wife?,” in this stylish but lethargic thriller I’m Your Woman. A sturdy Rachel Brosnahan plays the unknowing, inexperienced gangster wife whose life turned upside down when her husband gets embroiled in a “business” mishap. There are some glaring issues in the film that impacted the film’s overall impact. First, the film’s first half is too lethargic that it sets up the bar pretty low. The film’s second half is the best part, but by then we’re all pretty bored and inattentive. Second, the film has some awkward, half-baked screenplay that doesn’t give us any good judgments to try piece it all together.

  I’m Your Woman relies…

  Review by Eric Kohn

  You’ll be halfway through “I’m Your Woman” before its premise is clear, but the mystery is as gripping as its payoff. Director Julia Hart’s fourth feature pairs an engrossing turn from Rachel Brosnahan with a tense ‘70s-set script constructed with jigsaw precision. The full picture may amount to a contrived gangster story, but Hart (who scripted with her partner Jordan Horowitz) approaches that formula from the inside out. By the time you realize the kind of movie you’re watching, it’s already a few steps ahead.

  Review by Matt Neglia ★★★ 1

  I’M YOUR WOMAN is a controlled crime drama from Julia Hart that patiently builds its stakes while never overplaying its hand. Rachel Brosnahan expertly plays a single mom hiding out from some dangerous men who goes from frail & confused to empowered & capable by the end. Well shot but a bit too subdued for its own good.

  2020 Ranked

  I really enjoyed FAST COLOR, but much of this is tedious. The concept of having a neo-noir thriller from the perspective of a woman who would regularly get set aside in this genre is inspired, but the execution here is very much lacking, largely due to Julia Hart’s clear inability to build and maintain tension for large stretches of the film’s duration. I’m all for ambiguous or subdued approaches to films like this, but there’s just not much here for the majority of the runtime to begin with. It legitimately feels like Hart and co-writer Jordan Horowitz had great ideas yet little clue of what to do with them. Rachel Brosnahan and Marsha Stephanie Blake are great, though.
