Review by tom-cascades

I'm astonished how many reviewers can't handle quiet suspense and subtle acting. This movie builds a personal and eventually gripping story by taking us into the experience of a 1970s wife and mother who has no idea what her husband does. So we follow her slow and scary realizations of his work, his enemies, and his violence, even though we only meet him at the start of the movie.

There's a whole inter-racial story here, too, topical for 2020, and worth seeing just for that story.

In watching Rachel Brosnahan, I was reminded of Ryan Gosling in Drive, and began to think there's a developing genre here, where quiet characters don't let us find out how they feel. what they do, and what they value, until the movie is over.

There's some wonderful acting in I'm Your Woman, personal storytelling and personal camerawork, and many great 1970s outfits. Slow down and check it out.
