आई ऐम योर वुमन

I've given this 3 stars because of the committed cast, the fine score, and the fitting production design. But these elements could not save the day. How would I describe the writing? A Tarantino wannabe? Trying too hard to be a hip, violent film? This screenplay meandered, and lost its compass early on. The 2 hour run time was excessive. At about the halfway mark, I looked at my watch-always a sign that I want to make a quick exit. In the initial 20 minutes, I thought the lead (RB) would pull this through, but as more plot points were revealed, it just became a mess.

Good Movie. Everybody acted well in the movie. BGM in the movie was not so good. The movie was interesting or thrilling at 1st half. The movie bored and lagged at 2nd half. Good Movie.

Slowburn movie that really drew me in and kept me engaged throughout. Characters are all interesting, did an excellent job with the time period, and the plot was easy to follow. I loved it, it ended too soon! Rachel Brosnahan was excellent, I'll be watching more with her!

The first half is the slow build up, while the second half is engaging. It has much tension and suspense, and I enjoyed it more than I expected.

This is a 1970's crime story. Eddie (Bill Heck) is a criminal type. His wife Jean (Rachel Brosnahan ) knows it. One day Eddie brings home a baby because they can't have one. Then suddenly Jean discovers she must leave with the child in the middle of the night and Eddie is missing. The rest of the film fills in the slightly twisted back story and she keeps asking, "So what do we do know?" Story was not well constructed. Didn't care about any of the main characters. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I personally enjoyed this movie to a great deal! I felt as a woman what a young mother could have felt of that period of time with a child, living in an insecure present, with no financial or emotional support from anyone. Initially, she seems insecure, weak and stuck in a relationship which only trouble has brought to her. Eventually, as the movie continues, we see the lead character's powerful side unveiling. I loved the scene where she is holding her baby's shoe in the disco club, reminding us her purpose in finding the truth and escaping from the crazy mafia that is after her. About the other woman, I loved her persona. She is badass and helps our lead character find her inner power. All characters are interesting and compelling to watch. Loved all the 1970s details on the carbon box (eggs, shops, even diapers packages of the time). Great movie for those who don't want an easy and quick fix but instead a movie to understand in a deeper level and connect with the characters.

This film begins with a man bringing a baby home to his wife and telling her not to worry about where it came from. Soon, she's awakened in the middle of the night by a man who tells her to get moving while packing thousands of dollars from her husband's closet into a bag. Something has gone wrong and Eddie is nowhere to be found. A captivating premise! As the movie progresses, it becomes clear that Eddie is not just a thief but a killer who has likely been killed by the men looking for the money, so his wife has to run, protected by a mysterious man. Again, a very interesting twist on the usual crime story. But then things bog down and become farfetched and just inexplicable instead of creating more tension and intrigue for the viewer. Most egregious is the last 20 minutes, which fail to account for anything or tie up any loose ends, instead opting for a self-conscious ending that tries too hard to be arty in a vague and unsatisfying way.

Mrs Maisel drew us to watch this movie, since my wife and i love that series. I admit some things in IYM are easy to figure out but it was still an enjoyable movie. Don't let the few "that doesn't make sense" moments turn you away from a very good movie.

Love Rachel Brosnahan and couldn't wait to see this. I don't need lots of action to find a movie satisfying but this one was just too slow, ponderous, and unnecessarily long, for my taste, though it did pick up toward the end. Guess I will just stick to Mrs. Maisel for my Rachel Brosnahan fix.
