When is Pieces of a Woman on Netflix?
Pieces of a Woman will drop on Netflix on January 7, 2021.

The trailer can be watched below.
What is it about?
Martha is expecting her child, but when a homebirth goes wrong with a flustered midwife, the child dies.
The emotional film is primarily about baby loss, but it also looks at the impact this has on the mother and all the other characters tied to the incident.
As well as dealing with her grief and isolation, Martha must also go to court to see the midwife who is now facing charges for criminal negligence.
The movie takes place over the course of a year and in that time Martha’s relationships with her husband and mother are tested too.
Critics have already called the film a difficult watch.
Vanessa Kirby told Variety that she got to watch a woman give birth as part of her preparation for the role, having never done it herself.
“I’m always looking for something that scares me and that is seemingly insurmountable, and that alone was the birth because I haven’t given birth myself.
