It's smartly directed by Jake "son of Ridley" Scott, and the supporting cast, including Christina Hendricks as Debra's wiser older sister, are equally robust.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 15, 2019

Miller's finely tuned performance manages to be tough and sparky and just world-weary enough, without slipping into one-size-fits-all inspirational "survivor" cliche.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2019

American Woman doesn't tie everything up neatly, but that's one of its strengths. And in its empathy and patience, it offers Miller the part this too often sidelined actor has long deserved; she seizes it superbly.

| Oct 14, 2019

American Woman seems to be nudging its way above decent almost from the start, and just keeps nudging: while the inspiration to put it over the top is never quite there, the consistent effort is gratifying.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2019

American Woman is a film with a lived-in authentic feel. And Miller plays it beautifully with psychological depth and not a jot of actorly condescension.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2019

It comes on like an Unsolved Disappearance Movie but American Woman morphs into something more interesting, a portrait of a woman gradually finding her place in the world. And Sienna Miller is stellar.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2019

Eventually can't decide what type of film it is, but all the more interesting for it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2019

It's a reminder that Sienna Miller is a talent too often underrated.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 4, 2019

I think Sienna Miller is our greatest under-appreciated actress, and I think this movie is another tribute to that.

[Miller] gives a startlingly real and lived-in performance...

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 20, 2019

The role of Deb is not written with any great depth, but Miller gets into the character's psychological complications in a way that almost compensates for the lack

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 14, 2019

Miller owns the material and single-handedly elevates it to something you can't look away from.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 14, 2019

After 20 years of admirable performances in underwhelming films and 온라인카지노추천 shows, Sienna Miller chews into the greatest role of her career and savors every flavorful bite.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 14, 2019

That Miller creates a character who feels more like a neighbor than the typical film figure is what makes the performance all the more outstanding.

| Jun 13, 2019

In the end, what is so moving about American Woman is that director Jake Scott captured nearly 20 years of life with all of its poetic nuances and triumphs and failures.

| Jun 13, 2019

After the first few traumas, every event just feels superficial - a surface scratch for the kind of audience that wants to see women's lives as merely a character study, with no deeper understanding of their inner psyches.

| Jun 13, 2019

American Woman lives in the quiet spaces of Deb's life. Always suitably understated, it remembers that loss doesn't always swallow a life, but it always leaves a void.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 13, 2019

Emotional highs and lows are nicely balanced by small moments of humor, though the tone wobbles a bit.

| Jun 13, 2019

The performances are excellent, and Ingelsby's dialogue largely rings true. But while the movie is indeed considered and conscientious, it's also careful.

| Jun 13, 2019

Miller finally gets the chance to demonstrate what she can do as a proper protagonist, breaking away from the stereotypes she's too often played.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 12, 2019
