Planting a latent inner past...

Through the climax at the beginning, the work directly brings the audience a roller coaster-like emotional fall, deeply penetrated into the inner world of the characters, in the trivial daily life, the pain of being armed again and again is also behind these daily life, Through the changes of the river and bridges, the psychological process of the characters is shown, and the handling of the third act and the layout of the objects also bring a powerful force in the narrative and the actors' performances.

But it's a pity that it didn't get a complete pavement in the man's mood

Vanessa Kirby's performance is definitely very strong in the award season. She completely grasps the heartbreak and pain of the character. Too many details of the performance make the character more three-dimensional, and the subtle changes in the expression when the emotions are released strengthen the whole scene. The strength, the performance at the beginning and the end really hit my heart.

The mother played by Ellen Burstyn also had several very exciting emotional performances, and Shia LaBeouf's performance was also quite good, but it is a pity that due to personal reasons, it is a pity that this opportunity to impact the award season is not available.

On the whole, "Woman Fragment" gives a fairly high-quality performance of the character's progression and mood transitions in the script and performance. Although there are still some shortcomings in the story, it is definitely a work with enough strength to impact the award season.

4.5/5

    The character setting of the heroine is really too high-level, there are several people who are not hysterical in real life

    After losing her daughter, she fell in love with the taste of apples, because that was the only memory of her short time together with her daughter. What did a man do after a woman was torn to pieces? He was still asking, crying for everything he longed for, and turned to other women after unsuccessful. What he cried was the demise of his ideal life. This sadness was a kind of almost narcissistic male gaze. What is decency and dignity? It was us who lived glamorously under the eyes of others, then came to the toilet and took off our adult diapers.

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.
