Movie Review: PIECES OF A WOMAN

The new Netflix film Pieces of a Woman is that kind of movie. As Martha and Sean, Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeof play a couple eagerly anticipating the birth of their young daughter. The day arrives only for tragedy to hit the young couple forever altering what was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives.Read More →
