Pieces of a Woman (2020)

Kornél Mundruczó directs Pieces of a Woman, a 2020 Canadian-American drama film based on Kata Wéber's script. Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Fails, and Ellen Burstyn star as Martha's family and associates involved in her traumatic childbirth, baby loss, and subsequent court case against Eva, the midwife whom Martha's mother Elizabeth blames for the baby's death. Executive producers were Martin Scorsese and Sam Levinson, while Howard Shore composed the soundtrack.

'Pieces of a Woman,' a drama film starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, and Sarah Snook, is loosely based on Mundruczó and Wéber's stage piece of the same name. The story revolves around the Boston couple Martha and Sean, whose plan to have a homebirth ends tragically and begins an arduous path for the pregnant mother to accept the hard reality. While the video is not primarily about motherhood, it does provide a very profound knowledge of the sadness that some moms must, sadly, experience.
