I really enjoyed this film. Great music, great acting, great message.

We know the ending. So what? The journey is what I wanted to know and it was presented beautifully. I loved it.

This movie is so slow and boring that I had to stop half way through. I probably missed the good parts but I cant be bored to sleep hoping for something good.

I enjoyed this one and thought it was a good look into the woman and musician that Helen Reddy became during the late 60's & 70's era. I was a good flashback as I remember her being one of my mother's favorite singers.

The singing style reminded me of the time so ... 70's Good. You recall Karen Carpenter and others of the era. It's the placement of words and phrasing, the phrases since in tributes make the song less laid back. Like Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin's versions of 'son of a preacher man', today's makes "I am Woman" from a 70s recording of that time to the attitude of the today its "woman hear me roar! " And the original is a good amazing recording, and I will listen to current versions differently. Tilda did an amazing job, the costumes rock and I wonder where to shop for those clothes. The dynamic between the business partner and the male role as manager to the superstar, seeing the man supporting her and uncomfortable with suggested male female roles. The feminist and the judgement of one compared to money and the effort of one mans effort in a woman's success they tried to ... His part in her and hers his story. Sad they those who judged didn't realize they had their own cheerleaders at home themselves and there was an equality that societally different but only from the lense you look through. We have come a long way. And these movies are an important part of the american & world wide women's path. The steps up. The growth that one woman's voice became two and then a roar. On the lawn in D.C. in a women's march, I'd love be to see a documentary on. We've done so much as have our men. Men who made it possible for women make the record, who published the book, who stood up for an artist.

Trying to cram Helen Reddy's career into one biopic is understandably a huge challenge. "I Am Woman" is a worthy film but for those who know more of the story of Helen Reddy this biopic missed a lot. However, it remains an entertaining film none the less.

Before this movie I had never heard of Helen Reddy - but it seems she had a pretty good run of things back in the 60s/70s. I had never heard of the anthem that she sang for the women's lib movement. The movie shows some of her struggles as a woman and single mom, but doesn't elicit much emotion dramatically or musically.

My interests in this film were piqued only after Mark Kermode named it one of his 10 Worst in 2020. Granted, I can't argue that this biopic isn't terribly conventional and wouldn't look out of place as a Lifetime Movie of the week, but I'd consider it only marginally worse than, and play about as safe as, the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody, which frankly irritated me more. Charting the rise and fall of Helen Reddy, the Australian songstress/activist, from the late 60s as a determined single mother in NYC struggling to make ends meet, to her rise to fame in the 70s after meeting her future husband/manager Jeff Wald, and then the inevitable decline in the 80s, both financially, as a result of Wald's excesses, and commercially, as she falls out of favour; every narrative beat and turn here are heavily signposted and soaked in familiarity. It's bad enough that her story appears to be entirely made up of rock-and-roll cliches, but screenwriter Emma Jensen's superficial and unsophisticated treatment just made things worse. Tilda Cobham-Hervey's performance as the wholesome Reddy is admirable but dull, while the entire cast is lumbered with delivering Jensen's clunky and hokey dialogue. Yet, I don't think better dialogue could've saved Evan Peters' hammy portrayal of Wald. Call it nostalgia peddling if you must, but where the film works is reminding us of her songs and the significance they had if only for a moment in time. On the other hand, for a film set during the Women's Liberation movement that sees its central female character fights and prospers within a patriarchal industry and writes an anthem for that movement, it's ironic that it's the sisterhood between two working women: Reddy and her journalist bestie Lillian Roxon, that the film ultimately fails to do proper justice to.

It's not perfect but thoroughly entertaining and well told

Enjoyed, the actress portraying Helen Reddy did a Great job! The casting and directing seemed right on. Well done!

I'm a fairly knowledgable film person, and I'm old enough to remember the effect "I Am Woman" had on 12-year-old me. Is it a perfect film? No. But I think the 66% fresh rating is too low. I'm wary of such ratings when the fans give a movie 8, 9, or 10% points more than the critics. Could it be that critics can be a little too jaded to just WATCH a film and go along for the ride? I found the final scene inspiring! So sue me!

A wonderful yet heartwrenching story mixed with a powerful soundtrack. This film is one of clear passion and storytelling. Definitely worth watching. The soundtrack will live in my playlists for eternity.

They use another singer ! It's like you go to hear a Stradivarius and hear a cheap violin. Totally unacceptable, ruined the movie completely.

excellent performance

An enjoyable movie, especially if you were around at the time Helen Reddy was at the apex of her career...basically the 70s and early 80s. If you're watching with kids, there is rampant drug use and abuse featured throughout the movie, but given the time period and locations where it took place, it's a fairly accurate depiction. 2 negatives for me though. Number 1...I think they could have cast a better actress in the lead role. Tilda Cobham-Hervey seems like a very sweet person, but I just didn't buy her in the role. She was overly demure throughout the movie...a little too sweet in a part featuring a woman dealing with sexism, spousal abuse, and the male-dominated music industry. Number 2...I would have liked to have seen more of the creative process that went into the song that gave the movie its title. In the movie, the audience sees a couple of lines written in a notebook and then, BOOM, the hit song. I just can't believe that her most famous song just happened. Maybe it did, but I'm betting that there was much more of a creative backstory and process that we didn't get to see. All in all, "I Am Woman" is quite enjoyable, but again, if you didn't know who Helen Reddy was before, you may have a tough time seeing this as just another artist who struggled when they were young to make it to success after tons of failure and beatdowns.

Pretty well done . Good story

As a young woman when Helen Reddy made her mark on the world, this intimate portrait of her life made her success all the more real. I Am Woman was the rallying cry of a generation.

Amazing. Beautifully told. Helen's music shines. Wonderful.

The pacing was good, the story felt like it needed more - I felt like I just watched the cliff notes, this could have been saved by the acting however the acting was inconsistent. Some actors were stronger than others. For example: I usually love Danielle MacDonald's work but it was quiet jarring watching her depiction of "Roxy". It seemed disingenuous and jarring. I think this came from the writers, seemed like there was a lack of passion for character so the actress have very little to grip onto which was obvious from a lack of screen time and poor scripting for her character. So the friendship wasn't believable. I felt the same about Jeff at the beginning but his character developed and became a full person. Became one of the strongest characters, the actress that plays Helen is amazing her acting was strong throughout. I felt like this movie would have been better if the writers gave more focus to developing the people and world around her. It was okay, just could have been better. So much potential.

Why movies exist. Why movies matter. Why humans need fellow humans to move and inspire. So worth seeing. Thank you Ms Reddy for sharing your story.
