As Reddy, Tilda Cobham-Hervey's performance brought strength and spark to an enjoyable, if predictable, biopic.

It's hard to forgive the level of clunky, chubby cliches that populates every single scene...

| Oct 20, 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

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

It is a very standard biopic in many ways, but the lead performance is so warm and accessible... A cool little slice of American history.

I Am Woman all too conveniently hauls out the usual biopic tropes but, as is true of so many other films in this genre, including much better ones, it's worth experiencing for its star performance.

Shame it doesn't dare to be as revolutionary as its subject.

She is woman, but the Helen Reddy biopic doesn't roar.

| Original Score: C | Sep 11, 2020

A frustratingly shallow approach to a singer who deserves better.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 11, 2020

Watching "I Am Woman," you may get the ironic feeling that the woman it's about is the wrong one.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 11, 2020

The film is always flirting with cliché, and it gets pretty cheesy on a few occasions.

| Sep 10, 2020

Though I saw every beat coming, I still got choked up at the end.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 10, 2020

There's a rote quality to Emma Jensen's ultraconventional script, a ticking-off of obstacles and triumphs that feels shallow and rushed.

| Sep 10, 2020

A reasonably good movie biography, if one that -- perhaps due to the nature of her life -- feels a little like the Hallmark Channel version of Bohemian Rhapsody.

| Sep 10, 2020

Checks off just about every cliché imaginable - and yet wins us over, in large part due to the star-power performance of Tilda Cobham-Hervey as Reddy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 10, 2020

"I Am Woman," while it doesn't roar, effectively tells Reddy's story and speaks strongly about the women's movement and the struggle that continues.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 9, 2020

Cobham-Hervey's breathtaking performance elevates the whole endeavor, capturing the heart of what made Reddy so deserving of the winning tribute Moon has given her with "I Am Woman."

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 7, 2020

It is a lean and likeable, if slight and a little trite, celebration of the legendary Australian-American singer, feminist and anthem-creator Helen Reddy, shot with a rich neo-noirish texture by Oscar-winning cinematographer Dion Beebe.

| Aug 29, 2020

This new film is a fairly standard, by-the-numbers biopic, but Cobham-Hervey is compelling and nuanced in conveying Reddy's vulnerability and resolve, and she has an immense stage presence in some wonderful musical scenes.
