I Am Woman Reviews
Even when the film around her falters, Cobham-Hervey remains ever watchable. And, oh, does that film ever falter.
| Original Score: 5/10 | May 13, 2022
Helen Reddy was surely a more interesting figure than this well-intentioned but hollow biopic ever gets her credit for.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2021
...a highly-entertaining way to remember a unique singer, and skilfully re-packages her story for a new generation to enjoy...
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 17, 2021
An entertaining, if conventional biography of a woman who was anything but conventional.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 29, 2021
Cinematic fast food. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 21, 2020
I Am Woman is a serviceable and mildly entertaining film, yes, but it still feels like an opportunity missed.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2020
I Am Woman is certainly neither the greatest musical biopic nor the most intriguing account of a musician, but the energy soars during the musical set-pieces - equally aided by compelling performances and efficient world-building.

What makes I Am Woman worth watching (and recommending) is the importance of Helen's story (as predictable as it is).
| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 28, 2020
While we know how this story ends, "I Am Woman" gives us all the details of her life, the ups and downs, and her influence upon women everywhere in the U.S.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Nov 27, 2020
An unremarkable step-by-step narrative biography of the late Helen Reddy.
| Nov 6, 2020
The South Australian actor here delivers an emotional and memorable turn that the sludgy script almost scarcely deserves.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2020
As Reddy, Tilda Cobham-Hervey's performance brought strength and spark to an enjoyable, if predictable, biopic.
| Oct 23, 2020
It's hard to forgive the level of clunky, chubby cliches that populates every single scene...
| Oct 20, 2020
Unfortunately, Cobham-Hervey's hollow turn in the lead threatens to sink the whole enterprise, having more in common with Reddy's conventional music than her revolutionary message.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 13, 2020
This defiantly bland biopic of the Australian singing star Helen Reddy, who died this month, manages the remarkably counterintuitive feat of being oddly anti-feminist while describing the life of an acknowledged feminist flag-bearer.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2020
This well-made, sturdy biopic is heart-warming - and Cobham-Hervey's performance is captivating.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2020
Each scene needed a jolt of music or energy that just wasn't there.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2020
The power of her music and the enduring struggle of women makes the film resonate beyond its formulaic surface.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2020
'I Am Woman' is a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. But it lacks the drama and depth of other rockstar biopics. Helen Reddy and her anthem to feminism deserve more.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 7, 2020
A winsome Tilda Cobham-Hervey leads a rote rags-to-riches tale, though its rampant sexism is a villain women will recognize. Needs to be seen, even if it's not quite the tribute Helen Reddy deserves.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 1, 2020
