Meanwhile, as Jean, Brosnahan gives an arresting ‘deer in the headlights’ turn, playing a steely-eyed and eternally depressed woman who finally finds the courage to be the person she needs to be for herself and her son. If some of the dialogue feels stunted and a little forced in places, Hart remembers to ‘show don’t tell’, and that is where her true directing genius lies. Shot with a keen eye by Bryce Fortner and with a great deal of attention to period detail from designer Gae S Buckley, the film has ambitions beyond its rough-around-the-edges screenplay and limited budget. In I’m Your Woman, director Hart presents a handsomely devised and refreshingly cliché-free narrative which keeps you guessing throughout.

Directed by Julia Hart ( Fast Colour), who wrote the screenplay with her husband, La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz – probably best remembered for handing back the Oscar to Moonlight – I’m Your Woman tells of how Jean goes on the run after her husband betrays his partner.
