Pieces of a Woman
Vanessa Kirby should be nominated for her turn as the beleaguered Martha in Pieces of a Woman. Martha suffers in the first thirty minutes through childbirth to an unhappy conclusion, just one of the several setbacks that support her pervasive unhappiness.
Pieces is the kind of intense study of a woman that placed John Cassavetes in the firmament of minimalist directors with a naturalistic flare but a talent for delivering strong cinematic narratives about women. Director Kornel Mundruczo shows
Martha also facing a troubled marriage to a working-class, former druggie, Sean (Shia Le Boeuf), who doesn’t quite fit the upscale family headed by her mother, Elizabeth (Ellen Burstyn).
Shia LaBeouf was reportedly in consideration for a role in the MCU before the recent lawsuit filed against him alleging sexual battery. LaBeouf was sued earlier this month by singer and actress FKA Twigs, who dated the actor for about a year, in which she accused LaBeouf of sexual battery as well as verbal and physical abuse during their relationship as well as other instances of disturbing behavior such as shooting at stray dogs to get in character for
The Tax Collector. The lawsuit also included allegations of sexual abuse from stylist Karolyn Pho. Since the suit’s release singer Sia and songwriter Katy Rose, who dated and grew up with LaBeouf respectively, have come forward with their own allegations.
2020 is the year that Shia LaBeouf has finally ended his career.
After numerous legal battles in the road a few years ago, such as telling a Black officer that he was going to hell for the color of his skin after being stopped in traffic, and later even claimed that the police arrested him because of his skin color, Shia LaBeouf s most recent blunder really helped in smearing his name to the point that nobody wants to work with him ever.
The former Nickelodeon star was even given a chance after his public apology, a year of probation, and his anger management therapy.
Shia LaBeouf Is Reportedly Fully Blacklisted In Hollywood Now
Shia LaBeouf had a long road to travel to rehabilitate his reputation after a 2017 traffic stop in which he told a black police officer that he was going to hell for the color of his skin, accused him of arresting him for being white, and ranted about his wife watching pornography featuring “black dicks.” But, following a grovelling public apology, a year of probation and attending anger management therapy, he seemed to have accomplished it.
Hits like
Honey Boy (which he also wrote) and
The Peanut Butter Falcon won back audiences and he appeared to be on an upward trajectory. There were even credible reports by Variety that Marvel Studios were considering him for a major MCU role, which would have marked his full return to A-list acting.
