American Woman

Sienna Miller completely steals the show...

This is an intriguing and strange film, one which uses a simple narrative bait-and-switch technique to consistently confound expectation.

Miller owns the material and single-handedly elevates it to something you can’t look away from...

Miller’s skill as an actor perfectly modulates Deb’s growth over a decade.

Miller is utterly believable as a working-class woman whose daughter disappears, alongside strong support from Christina Hendricks and Aaron Paul.

Miller’s finely tuned performance manages to be tough and sparky and just world-weary enough, without slipping into one-size-fits-all inspirational “survivor” cliche.
