Helen Reddy was named the Queen of 70s Pop! The most underrated female artist in the rock era! There are people today who don't even know who she is even though she was the first female to win an American Music Award (AMA) for favorite pop female, she won a Grammy, she was the first Australian to have a TV show and a number one song in America, she had 9 number one songs and 11 songs in the top 20 on the Hot 100 plus much more! I'm so glad she finally got recognition. Her militant feminism may have pushed her into obscurity, but the Me Too movement has changed all that! Welcome back, Helen Reddy!
I am women is a good movie..the acting was well done..the songs were presented in quality audio sound..Tilda Hervey is a delightful actress and at times it seems like you attended a real Helen Reddy concert when watching this film..Tilda Hervey really looks like Helen Reddy..I am women is a movie you watch more than once.
RIP Helen 9/29/2020 “She was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and a truly formidable woman. Our hearts are broken. But we take comfort in the knowledge that her voice will live on forever.”
Strange that in a trailer about female empowerment and one woman's struggle for equality (in a world where men always got top billing), the lead actress's name comes after Evan Peters'.
His name is listed in the title of the video by whoever posted (not the studio), but in the actual credits at the end of the trailer the actress who plays Helen Reddy is listed first.
It is so appropriate that this movie is being released right now. There are so many women in today's society that probably don't know who Helen Reddy is and how powerful that song is.
I grew up with Helen Reddy's song and it influenced us all, the women of my generation have so much to thank Helen for, her anthem set us all free and fighting for Women's Rights and even though Helen has passed RIP, the fight carries on! Thank you Helen, Angels speed to Heaven! xxx
I felt this actress did so well in reaching into the Ido synchronicities of HR I remember her- so how hearing the songs from that time It brought the memories of the time when everyone was exspressing music and a lot of loud over the top and hear tis song ONCE and you will be humming it to yourself she heard all the music and felt so much and I loved hearing her words and how the story was told. so I felt this movie and this actress did this well I was grateful. I being a teenager during that time noticed Helen Ready was strong and very sincerely delicate during a time when they increase the radio frequency so positive a message.
I saw Helen Reddy at the Grammy where she won best new artist in 1970 or 71. She performed that song 'I Am Woman' and she was amazing. Great artist with hits like 'Delta Dawn' ; 'Ruby Red Dress'; 'Angie Baby'; 'Candle On The Water'; 'Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady'; and many others. I like to see her bio-film if it is. I am a huge fan. I also saw her in Airport 75 as a nun and sang the theme song. I hope I am not mistaken. Correct me please if I were wrong. Thanks!
How did I not know this movie existed? She is my favorite. I'm pretty sure I'm not the normal fan at my age as she was my mom's age. But I'm so excited! Her music is amazing.
Helen Reddy, the Australian singer whose global hit “I Am Woman” became a feminist anthem and who was the subject of a 2019 biopic of the same title, died
on the afternoon of September 29th, 2020 in Los Angeles, California. She was 78

And by the way if there was a holy bible in this film they would have found maybe that a god was a he or that he is nothing perhaps. Or if that’s just me.
Luna Sea but so is the main character who is a woman who is playing a woman who wrote a song about female empowerment.... kind of ironic the actresses name isn’t in it
This trailer there's all this build up and then they start playing the song in the meeting room and it's so god damn low key just didn't match the tone the trailer was building for it.
Ladies, ladies. Cut it with the knee jerk reactions. I’m not anti films about feminist icons, not by a long shot. I am, however, against elevating a purveyor of vanilla pabulum, who’s known for an awful song that reads like the sort of unimaginative “feminism!” anthem that might’ve been written by a grade schooler to icon status for the sake of... what, exactly? What about a Debbie Harry biopic or one about the Slits or Bikini Kill? Demand more. Demand better.
@@nicks8026 At least we're getting an Aretha Franklin biopic. That one sounds far more interesting. It must be the year of the "female singers from the 70s" biopics.

So it's gonna suffer under the 'go woke, get broke'-umbrella, even thou I don't believe the movie itself is doing this as much. But it sure as hell promotes itself that way. instead of being a biopic. A genre that was very successful in 2019. And 2ndly, during the pandemic it seems people are even more fed up with this, and even more likely to let small stuff like this rile them up. And this movie isn't big enough to pull audience from outrage points now that most outlets are closed. So this trailer in effect just scares away all the people that doesn't like being preached too.

Well, I grew up in the 70s and saw Helen Reddy regularly on tv shows like Sonny & Cher and the Carol Burnett show. The actress who portrays her in the movie looks nothing like her and doesn’t sound like her. Helen Reddy had a more nasal sound and she definitely did not have the same strong vocal chords as this actress. Sorry folks. I don’t get it. Back in those days, the role models for my friends and I (and whose albums we actually bought) were Barbara Streisand, Cher, Dianna Ross and Kate Bush.
Being a true story of an actual singer who calls her god by the pronoun she then this actual singer and this actress believe it so. Poor souls.
