American Woman (15)
Directed by Jake Scott
SIENNA MILLER delivers a powerhouse performance as a single mother forced to raise her grandson when her teenage daughter mysteriously disappears.
A poignant working-class family drama, American Woman is set in a blue-collar town in Pennsylvania, where the narrative unfolds over 11 years.
There, 32-year-old Debra Callahan (Miller) — who looks more like her daughter Bridget’s (Sky Ferreira) sister than her mum — is left traumatised and haunted by the loss of her child to the eventual discovery of the truth.
