American Woman's reviews
Media reviews
The A.V. Club
Miller finally gets the chance to demonstrate what she can do as a proper protagonist, breaking away from the stereotypes she?s too often played.
Los Angeles Times
'American Woman' at once reveals its soft underbelly while landing a surprisingly effective punch to the gut ? largely thanks to Miller?s deft performance.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sienna Miller offers a beautiful, agile performance that would by itself justify the film's existence.
The Washington Post
It?s not an especially profound story. But it is a movingly rendered one, made watchable by an actress whose elastic performance bookends the film with two very different people.
The Wrap
Despite the script?s lack of character depth, Miller gives a consistently phenomenal performance.
Variety
'American Woman' isn?t dull, but the narrative feels more over-stuffed than surprising, and the packaging busy rather than evocative. There?s no unifying directorial tone or stylistic tact to lend the film the symphonic grandeur it sometimes appears to be aiming for.
The Playlist
Although Miller invests heart and soul into the performance, maybe even career-best work from the actress, and the rest of the cast, especially Hendricks, are excellent, Ingelsby?s screenplay foolishly decides to lay its interests on Deb?s terrible taste in men rather than her daughter?s disappearance.
