Tragedies can drive wedges between people.
As “Pieces of a Woman” opens, Martha and Sean eagerly await the birth of their child. Having chosen a home delivery, the partners follow their planned steps to contact the midwife once the contractions follow a prescribed rhythm. When their preferred midwife can’t come, a substitute soon arrives to guide the couple through this special time. Then tragedy strikes. A wedge begins.
The intensity of the opening moments of this film immediately grab our attention. But screenwriter Kata Wéber dilutes the impact by not first giving us the chance to get to know the people. The script focuses more on the events that transpire than on the people clinging to hope. We learn little about Martha and Sean as individuals or a couple, what they want for their child, how they see themselves as parents or what excites and frightens them about parenthood.
Director Kornél Mundruczó also opens up about casting Shia LeBeouf in the Netflix film.
