Anyone who lived through the 1970s and 1980s knows Helen Reddy's music, even if you don't know that she's the singer of certain songs like "Delta Dawn." You probably do know that she sang the Women's Movement anthem "I am woman," for which the movie is named. Reddy's music infuses the made-in-Australia movie "I Am Woman," so the film is worth watching just to hear the songs. I had no clue as to Reddy's background or the down-and-up-and-down life she lived during her celebrity days. Reddy just passed away a couple of weeks ago as I write this, but she participated in this movie's production so I'll assume this movie is as authentic as a biopic gets. Australian actress Tilda Cobham-Hervey, who plays Reddy in the movie, looks stunning. Some of the songs are recordings of Reddy and some are recreations sung by Chelsea Cullen, an Australian singer. My ear can't tell the difference. A very pleasant two-hour diversion from the current reality in 2020.
