‘I Am Woman’ review: Helen Reddy biopic stars stellar leading lady

nypost.com:

Helen Reddy makes of the one we’re loving in 2020: Cardi B’s “WAP.”If Tilda Cobham-Hervey’s lively-eyed portrayal of Reddy is accurate, I bet the 78-year-old entertainer is getting a kick out of the raunchy ode to women’s pleasure.

What really bugged Reddy were sad-sack songs like 1966’s hit “Born a Woman” — “A woman’s place in this old world/Is under some man’s thumb…”The Australian singer became a household name in 1972, when her fiery first single “I Am Woman” hit at just the right time to galvanize the women’s movement, which was advocating for the Equal Rights Amendment.

The film often looks and sounds like an accompaniment to the Cate Blanchett-led Hulu series “Mrs. America”, though plot-wise it stays mostly in genre territory, never.
