Pieces of a Woman (2020)

There are so many people who will struggle with this movie, and if you are thinking about having a home birth you should definitely delay watching it until afterwards.It has been a very long time since I had my last baby, and I would never ever in a million years never have my baby in anything but a hospital, and this was still pretty tough to watch. The bottom line is that the movie is very emotionally relatable and very intense, and if you have triggers of any kind they are likely to be set off. A child is lost and a couple tries to recover, but that proves to be very hard indeed. The grief is crushing and they very likely wouldn't have made it without the interference of a mother, but that becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back. A parent who cannot keep their hands out of interfering in their adult child's life and who makes their own grief their child's problem is at that point unfixable, and all of that is on stark display. This is so well done, with all three of the main characters putting in convincing performances.
