Pieces of a Woman: Netflix secures global rights to Vanessa Kirby-led drama

According to Variety, Netflix has successfully obtained the worldwide distribution rights to Kornél Mundruczó’s drama film Pieces of a Woman which is being led by Emmy-nominated actress Vanessa Kirby and Honey Boy star Shia LaBeouf. This acquisition comes after the movie recently had its world premiere at the 2020 Venice International Film Festival where Kirby won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress.

“As a European filmmaker, I couldn’t be more excited and appreciative of finding my home for this film with Netflix. Their taste in independent cinema feels like the United Artists of the 1970s. The true champions of filmmakers and original voices for today,” Mundruczó said in a statement.

In Pieces of a Woman, Martha and Sean Carson are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), 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. The film is a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.

The deeply personal film is the first English language directed by Kornél Mundruczó from a script written by Kata Wéber based on a shared personal experience with Mundruczó. It stars Vanessa Kirby in the lead role along with Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Schlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmy Fails and Ellen Burstyn.
