There was good news today regarding the Vanessa Kirby-starring “Pieces of a Woman,” it has just been dated by Netflix to be released in select theaters on December 30th, and will be available via streaming on January 7th, 2021. I saw this fantastic movie at this past September’s digital edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, Kirby is almost guaranteed an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, here’s a snippet from my review:
“For 128 minutes, Vanessa Kirby has you hooked to her every move in Kornel Mundruczo’s “Pieces of a Woman.” As Martha, a high-powered executive who loses her child during a harrowing home birth, Kirby mesmerizes by showcasing the human frailty and devastation that happens when tragedy comes knocking at her door. Her acting tour-de-force reminded me of Gena Rowlands’ masterful work in John Cassavetes’ 1974 classic, “Woman Under the Influence.”
Director Mundruczó’s first English-language film is based on a horribly tragic personal experience. Starring Kirby and Shia LaBeouf as a grieving couple whose lives are thrown into tragedy after a disastrous homebirth. This was supposed to premiere in competition at this year’s canceled Cannes Film Festival, but eventually wound up screening at the Venice Film Festival and TIFF.
We have more on-set images of Austin Butler as Crockett and Michael B. Jordan as Tubbs in Joseph Kosinski's "Miami Vice '85," which is currently filming in — where else — Miami.
