Pieces of a Woman recently began streaming Netflix and as the audience watched it, they began sharing how they liked the movie. The movie involves a bunch of some of the most talented artists in the industry including actors such as Vanessa Kirby, Molly Parker, Shia LaBeouf, Sarah Snook, Benny Safdie, Ellen Burstyn, Jimmie Fails, Iliza Schlesinger and others. Let’s take a look at Pieces of a Woman reviews along with how the audience reacted to it as soon as it began streaming on Netflix.
'Pieces of a Woman' Reviews
Pieces of a Woman movie revolves around the life of the characters named Martha and Sean who are going to become parents soon but the birth doesn’t go well as thought and turns out to be tragic. The other significant characters involved in the film are Martha’s midwife Eva, Sean’s mother Elizabeth, Martha’s cousin and attorney Suzanne.
The story then follows the grieving life of Martha and Sean who blame their midwife Eva for the loss of their daughter and decide to file a lawsuit against her. It is the Pieces of a Woman’s ending that leaves the audience in surprise along with a question in mind.
What Works?
Vanessa Kirby’s portrayal of a mother who recently lost her baby is remarkable. Her extraordinary performance of Martha who first depicts the joy of becoming a mother and then switches to grieving the loss of the baby with the zest to punish the midwife was commendable. The role Sean was brilliantly portrayed by actor Shia who created a smooth balance between his character’s topsy-turvy relationship with Martha.
What Doesn’t?
Apart from the brilliant acting of the entire cast of the movie, one thing that could be unrealistic is how Sean’s character sleeps with the attorney in the first meeting despite the attorney knowing that it could ruin the case. As there are some of the most complicated relationships in the film, there was no closure of any relationship shown in Pieces of a Woman’s ending.
Audience Reactions
The viewers had a lot to say after they watched the movie and especially after watching Pieces of a Woman’s ending. Many of them shared how they loved the film and urged others to watch it too. Some of the reactions of the viewers are mentioned below.

My favorite movie of 2020 is now on Netflix. PIECES OF A WOMAN is not an easy watch but it’s an incredible story of grief and reclaiming oneself. The performances are fantastic. It feels like a Bergman film for a new generation. Vanessa Kirby is phenomenal and deserves the Oscar pic.twitter.com/EprKGQbFBt
