American Woman

American Woman, directed by Artie Seigel, is a moody and slow-burning character study that blends a bit of psychological drama with a revenge thriller. Based around on a grieving doctor pushed into a violent criminal underworld, the film shines most in its raw emotional tone and the committed performance of Katelin Stack. Her portrayal gives the story a grounded emotional core that anchors the more surreal and stylized moments.

The direction is confident, often using some murky, intimate visuals that mirror the protagonist's unraveling state of mind. However, the film's pacing may test viewers' patience-particularly in the first act, which lingers a bit too long before the central plot kicks in. The supporting characters, while intriguing, could use a bit of development, making some late-story turns feel less impactful than they should.

Still, American Woman offers a distinct voice and a compelling arc, even if not all risks pay off. It's a smart, brooding film with a few rough edges-ultimately a solid 7.5 or 8/10.

Artie Siegal's latest film AMERICAN WOMAN delivers the goods even on a micro budget. The lead actress was solid and definitely carried the film. My other favorite was actor Joe Rosing who was the other half that carries this film. Joe is excellent in this and has a great body of work to prove this. Some cool experimental shots and concepts in this film made it fresh. Exciting action, cool story, great cast, slick direction and strong score was all involved in making this film a great watch. I'm looking forward to Artie's next film and I can definitely see a sequel to this. Support this film and support indie films!!

American Woman 2025 delivers an emotionally potent thriller that begins with tragedy and evolves into an electrifying "GO GET IT GIRL" display of vengeance and resilience.

I enjoyed the creativity of how the story develops from a tragic incident that leaves Dr. Molly emotionally shattered but in deep survival mode.

As you watch it, the roller coaster of both grief and jagged strength of the main actress is cool. 1 minute you want to feel sorry for her, then your cheering for her to win-without ever losing the human truth at its core.

The best part is the film doesn't compromise on intensity, and I LIKE THAT. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Love the movie. Some parts were slow, but it made it up with the gun battles. And whoever decided to do the Split screen was amazing. I love that part of the movie. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to just watch. People shoot at each other for an hour and a 1/2 which I love when people shoot at each other. This is so cool this. Remind me to kind of like a cartoon movie. There wasn't a lot of blood but you knew people were getting shot so I reckon men this movie. This movie would be cool like a drive Em too. That way to drink and watch people. Shoott each other that be totally awesome. But o k I recommend this movie.

A boldly dark edge-of-your-seat thriller with a challenging female lead who meets the challenge with a carefully gauged descent into outright madness. At times serious, at times crazy funny, a busy visual feast for even the best of filmmakers, and especially challenging for a first time full length feature filmmaker striking out into a world of such heavy competition. But Artie Siegel doesn't shy away or veer from the seriousness of his well authored account, and that mature focus serves him and his film and its talented newcomer actors very well indeed, especially Katelin Stack who delivers a terrific performance carrying most of the often disturbing narrative. The hand held camera does a great job supporting the film's intensely conceived plot.
