The whole movie blew me away. give birth, what a sacred thing it is. Fragments of a woman, love, family, friendship, society, life. The film made me feel peaceful and melancholy, gentle and hopeless. Focusing on a woman's perspective and bearing grief alone, this is a woman's ups and downs, as well as a woman's growth story. I watched it with relish and couldn't help myself.

Fortunately, the heroine understood in court the meaning of the baby coming to this world. Is it really necessary to let the midwife take the blame? No, because no amount of compensation can measure the tragedy. If I really want to say, its essence is a cause and effect composed of one choice, and no one can be blamed. Neither mother nor Martha's position could be wrong. There are always some things that take time to heal, to heal those scars that are piercing at the touch of a button.

Facing these wounds is the beginning of the heroine's maturity. Martha's struggle and pain are surrounded by many silent scenes, from the shocking childbirth in the beginning to the later relationship between the sexes, from the courtroom to develop the photos and know the once obsessed little girl to the little girl picking apples on the tree at the end. The whole work is sublimated under the infinite emotional tension of the heroine. There are many places in the film that allow me to empathize, as if to accompany such a woman to heal her wounds.

The content of the film is deep and meaningful, long and profound. Teaching a woman how to live with loss in grief and loneliness. Compassionate and generous, the strength and independence of women are so captivating.

The bridge, the fine snow, the apple seeds that smelled like a baby, and the moment the ashes were sprinkled on the bridge, I saw a woman whose motherhood gradually calmed down and began to be reborn.

The long shot at the end is full of a different kind of charm, which is gradually pieced together in these layers. A woman begins to face herself, analyze human nature, return to her family, and return to her family. At the same time, the broken pieces of a woman are being pieced together into a whole, tough, and brave heart.

    There is no dwarfing male when it comes to childbirth, because it is always females who are torn apart, so please don’t overestimate your grief for males.

    92/100. I knew earlier that this movie started with a tragedy, but under the presentation of the long shot, there is still strong oppression and pain, which is to be expected. But what surprised me even more was that the second half of the film didn't have much of the bitterness and bitterness and needle-pointing Maimang that I imagined, but described how the heroine picked up the pieces of her life in a calm and unbelievable way. The story, handled in a slow rhythm, is like the tug-of-war between us who have been knocked down in life, and it is real and touching. Vanessa Kirby's performance is also not as dominant as expected, but with her not too forceful but highly infectious face, she perfectly interprets a woman who gradually learns to reconcile with the world after encountering a thunderbolt. . Whether it is the cowardly husband, the strong mother or the gossip stranger, they are just passing by. When she puts down everything and chooses the path she believes in, she has already propped up a future for herself. Like Boston in spring, just like the lush apple tree after germination and sowing, ordinary but great.

Pieces of a Woman quotes

  • Elizabeth: And I'm ashamed of me. That I wasn't a good enough mother to teach you how to stand up and speak for yourself, for God's sakes. And to deal with this. Like my mother taught me. After my father went into the ghetto, my mother found a shack, an empty shack, that she went into and gave birth to me. Without any help at all. She stashed me under the floorboards when she had to go out and steal food. So she could make milk enough to keep me alive, but just alive. Not strong enough to cry, or we'd be caught. When she finally got me to a doctor, he advised her to just let me go. That I wasn't... I wasn't strong enough to survive. But when she absolutely insisted, he picked me up by my feet and held me up like a chicken and said, "If she tries to lift her head, then there's hope." And you know what I did, Martha? I lifted my head. That's what I'm asking you to do now. Lift your head and fight for yourself, for God's sakes! Go out there and face that woman.

  • Lane: Yes, how did you feel holding your baby you had just given birth to?

    Martha: She smelled like an apple.
