as far-reaching as its generic name inherently suggests, jake scott ’s sneakily rewarding drama “american woman†is a time-spanning life story with a slow building script by “ out of the furnace †writer brad ingelsby. And here is its best and biggest feature: sienna miller ’s expansive performance as the lead stars-and-stripes female teased in the title.
It’s a career-best achievement for miller, grounded on her wide-ranging emotional muscles; sometimes, she is knowingly mundane and uneventful like the life of the ordinary small-town woman she portrays. Other times, she acts so manically scarred that you can feel the traces of pain crawling in her bones in your own body. The package that surrounds her is far from new or pristine, sadly—she plays a grief-stricken single mother going through the motions of mid-life crisis and maturity. But miller owns the material and single-handedly elevates it to something you can’t look away from, while reminding us the effortless appeal she brought into even her relatively thankless part in “ american sniper. â€.
Exactly one week after binge-watching netflix's house of cards within 48 hours, i decided to sample the streaming service's next offering: unbreakable kimmy schmidt, tina fey's follow-up to the beloved 30 rock. Sure, i sampled it — and then suddenly it was 2 a. M. And i was on the last episode. My life has become one of those netflix-loving memes , but it was worth it. Unbreakable kimmy schmidt is not only hilarious, but it's completely fearless, just like its titular heroine, who moves to new york city after being kidnapped and held in a cult for 15 years. The comedy series isn't afraid to find humor in the trauma kimmy (played by ellie kemper) went through and go for the truly bizarre. But unbreakable kimmy schmidt might take it too far by having 30 rock vet jane krakowski playing a native american woman — in truth, the actress is caucasian and polish.

Review by dawson joyce ★★★½ a fascinating and assured directorial debut from ophelia scribe semi chellas, american woman (not to be confused with last year's sienna miller starring vehicle) is a compelling if occasionally muddled reimagining of the famous patty hearst kidnapping affair that also works as a solid character piece, beautifully shot and terrifically performed.

Because even a slow simmer eventually boils over. September 7, 2019 | rating: 3/4 | full review… johanna schneller american woman is as nondescript and invisible as its in-hiding subjects try and appear to the public.

A musical prodigy, jazz sensation and television pioneer, she was born in trinidad in 1920, but moved to new york—into the heart of the harlem renaissance—at age 4. Her piano playing was so impressive that a juilliard professor agreed to teach scott, whose mother was also a musician, even while she was still much too young for formal training at the school. At 15, she had joined her mother’s all-female touring jazz band. Before she was out of her teens she had performed at the 1939 world’s fair in new york, and was a regular on stage at café society, the downtown nightclub that was first in the city to welcome a racially integrated crowd. Her signature style of “swinging the classics†yoked beethoven to count basie, breaking down familiar compositions and shaking up the pieces until something quite new emerged.
