Sienna Miller is one of those extremely capable actresses who rarely seems to get the type of roles that she deserves. She’s played a lot of girlfriends and a lot of loyal wives. Check out Foxcatcher, The Catcher Was A Spy, and American Sniper for just a few examples.
However, the soon-to-be-released American Woman appears to give Sienna Miller a role with a bit more depth than those previous roles. In American Woman, Miller plays Deb, a 31 year-old grandmother whose life is turned upside down when her teenage daughter vanishes, leaving Deb to raise her grandchild. Taking place in a small Pennsylvania town, the film spans 11 years and, from what I’ve heard, it gives Miller a chance to show what she can do with a really good role.
The trailer for American Woman dropped today and, not surprisingly, it was totally overshadowed by the latest Spider-Man trailer. The trailer looks pretty good, though. Some of the images are evocative of films like Gone Girl, Winter’s Bone, and Under the Skin. Will the film live up to the trailer? We’ll find out on June 14th!
Here’s the trailer for American Woman:
