American Woman finds poignant drama in one woman’s gruelling odyssey, thanks in no small part to Sienna Miller’s outstanding work in the leading role.
In a blue-collar town in Pennsylvania, a 32-year-old woman’s teen daughter goes missing and she is left to raise her infant grandson alone. The story is told over the course of 11 years: we journey with her from the time her daughter vanishes, through the trials-and-tribulations of subsequent years, and ultimately to the long-awaited discovery of the truth.
