WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 1966, Australian singer Helen Reddy (Cobham-Hervey) arrives in New York with her three-year-old daughter, a suitcase, and less than $250 to her name. Within five years, she becomes one of the 20th century’s most popular and most influential figures, namely for her feminist anthem “I Am Woman”…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The life of the influential singer Helen Reddy – who sadly passed away last week – is given the biopic treatment in a film that charts her greatest achievements, held together by a showstopping lead performance by Tilda Cobham-Hervey as the woman of the hour.
