Martha (Vanessa Kirby) and Sean Carson (Shia LaBeouf), are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife, who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn),, along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court.
Pieces of a Woman is directed by Kornel Mundruczó, of White God fame, and penned by Kata Wéber. The trailer promises mesmerising performances by Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeouf and the sombre mood of the trailer makes the excruciating grief of the couple palpable. The trailer of Pieces of a Woman, executive produced by Martin Scorsese. The film which earned acclaim at various international film festivals earlier this year, will arrive in select theatres and Netflix in December.
