8/10
A drama of emotions combined with loss, tragedy, change, and closure.

"American Woman" is one film that is well done it's a moving touching type picture of life and how with love and family one can get thru struggle and pain. It proves that life is up and down with emotions that come from tragedy and loss as thru change closure is finally found. The movie showcases all of these themes so well! Set in rural and blue collar Pennsylvania Debra(in a raw and gritty performance from Sienna Miller) is a single and bed hopping mother who has her world shattered one day after her daughter goes missing as now she has to raise her grandson alone. The movie spans thru her life for 11 years as it's really a roller coaster of highs and lows the pain and drama becomes daily trials of life for Deb. It all ranges from anger and hope the movie makes you really feel like you are going thru life too just like that of Deb's character as we all remember the hardships of life and it's pain. Overall good emotional drama of life and how change happens and spans thru the years before closure.
