I’m Your Woman w/Q&A

Amazon Studios invited members of the Philadelphia Film Critics Circle to a live virtual Q&A with cast members Rachel Brosnahan, Marsha Stephanie Blake, and Writer/Director, Julia Hart, Moderated by Angelique Jackson.

Seems like the women enjoyed trusting relationships during filming, which remain present. There’s a part in the below video where they talk about the scene where Rachel and Marsha Stephanie, both small framed ladies, having to move the heavy dead corpses (male actors) in the cold. Sometimes you forget part of movie magic is putting in the actual work.

Check Out the Video Below:

I saw I’M YOUR WOMAN during #PFF29 and wrote the following #MiniMovieReview: 70’s era young, bored housewife, Jean (Rachel Brosnahan) is sitting beneath the trees in her backyard in a sexy caftan, trying to figure out what to do with herself. Suddenly, finding a pair of scissors to cut out the tag in the caftan becomes her mission, when in walks her husband, Eddie (Bill Heck) with a baby about 4 or 5 months old. She asks, “Who’s that?” he replies, “It’s your kid”. And off we go. Jean is married to a criminal, not small time, connected, but on the lower end of the totem pole. Jean knows this, and yet she doesn’t. She seems to genuinely love this inch above a thug Eddie, she’s well taken care of, and doesn’t seem to have had any experience doing anything else. So she’s dutiful, doesn’t ask a lot of questions, and accepts what he says at his word. He tells her, it was a teenage girl who didn’t want to keep the baby, but you can just tell he was on a job where he killed the parents and thought, the kid’s cute, may as well take him, like you would a watch or maybe a meal about to go to waste.

Before you know it, Eddie’s in trouble and Jean and the baby, Harry, are in danger and sent packing with 200K in cash, and told to get in the car with a black man, Carl (Arinzé Kene) who she’s never seen before, and to do as he says.

The movie is meant to be about a woman who learns how to fend for herself and her child, while discovering more about the life her husband’s lead. It’s a decent action movie towards the end. It’s rather slow in the middle, but it helps that baby Harry has the most expressive, little old man face, you just want to pick him up through the screen, and play with him, when he’s not crying, which he does do a lot of throughout the movie.

I’m not sure it’s a fitting role for Brosnahan, but I like her so much from watching ” The Marvelous Mrs Maisel” that I enjoyed “I’m Your Woman” Although, I hate the title.
