Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) Awards talk aside, it's a bit of a mess. But it does do a decent job of capturing the impulse to blame when joy is supplanted by tragedy and loss. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Director Kornél Mundruczó doesn't go easy on his actors or on us, making this an ordeal. Rated: 3/4 Jan 16, 2021 Full Review Richard Brody The New Yorker Its effortful grandiosity transforms it into something hollow and even, at times, risible. Jan 15, 2021 Full Review Sarah Cortinaz InSession Film It can be a hard one to watch but, to put it simply, Kirby is magnetic. You just can’t take your eyes off her. Apr 23, 2024 Full Review Jillian Chilingerian Offscreen With Jillian It feels like a masterclass performance. Aug 22, 2023 Full Review PJ Grisar The Forward “Pieces of a Woman” doesn’t forsake memory, but questions its proper place in the lives of the second generation.

Michael A little hard to understand,I think theatre has a sound problem,ending seems abrupt.did Martha remarry and have a daughter? All leads are excellent espically Vanessa Kirby.would like a second viewing... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/25/21 Full Review veronica s Great direction and acting. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/21 Full Review chitown2bayarea Good movie, definitely recommend if you're looking for a sad movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Janelle B Absolutely amazing and realistic portrayal of deal life, I suffered an 8 1/2 month pregnancy loss and this movie brought me so much comfort and made me feel less alone. Real life isn't always pretty it doesn't always have a happy ending tied up in a bow , babies die and movies need to reflect this sometimes. I recommended this movie to many of my friends and family so that could get a glimpse into what life was like for me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review K e Woah did she win anything for this performance? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Giorgio S Really good. I know this is a drama,but the first scenes of Vanessa Kirby are fun as hell. Shia Lebaouf gives a really good performances. Ok this is all I have to say the movie lasted half an hour for me,it's too quick. Friday I'm going to see Napoleon so two Vanessa Kirby performances in a week,my god she's one of the mist beautiful woman I have ever seen and she's an amazing actress too,and her face,never seen something that beautiful.
