I'm Your Woman review, Culture Whisper
The revisionist conceit of Julia Hart’s Prime Original film I’m Your Woman is a curious subversion of crime dramas. Instead of focusing on the male criminal, Hart takes the perspective of his wife – here played by Rachel Brosnahan, star of the polychromatic Marvelous Mrs Maisel.
Jean (Brosnahan) is a suburban, 70s housewife with no cooking skills – barely managing torn eggs and blackened toast – endlessly waiting for her thieving husband, Eddie (a brief appearance by Bill Heck), to return. There’s nothing innocent about Eddie: leather jacket, greased-back hair, looking like a wannabe Brando. Jean clearly loves the fruits of his illegal labours, wearing posh gowns and wandering about a large house.
One day, Eddie arrives with a baby. No explanation why. Jean immediately takes to motherhood.
