Poster art for “I’m Your Woman” has star Rachel Brosnahan posing with a baby in one hand and a gun in the other. Such a provocative image promises a ferocious movie to come, but co-writer/director Julia Hart isn’t interested in making that type of endeavor. “I’m Your Woman” is being sold as a revenge picture, but it isn’t one, emerging as more of a character study about a wife and mother learning self-sufficiency and reality as her life is upended by underworld violence. Hart makes a deliberate feature, and one that’s quite poky at times, never in a hurry to get anywhere. But she has fine performances all around and some wonderful imagery to keep the production soaked in mood. There’s a sharp 90-minute film in this two-hour-long endeavor, which is best suited for viewers who know exactly what they’re getting with Hart’s love of stillness. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
