Stupid piece of a film

I finished Pieces of a Woman and, I'm absolutely irritated that this lazy, white privileged, and morally ambiguous film is one of the Oscar films of 2021. 

It begins promisingly enough, showing a very loving couple's home birth, shown in such measured, intimate and artistic style. However, it soon descends into chaos, into a world of asshole-ish characters acting out their rage and grief. What do the antics of these assholes have anything to do with a so-called significant portrayal of the death of a new born baby? What great drama , tragedy are we witnessing here? 

The woman who lost her baby clams up and refuses to share her grief with her partner. Why? God knows why. He can't handle it and, then connives with his wealthy mother in law (who emasculates him all the time) to file a civil suit which the woman doesn't want to. He has a dirty affair with the prosecutor who is also related to the woman. The mother in law proceeds to bribe her loser son in law with a big cheque and the man buggers off. This woman who lost her baby just broods and wallows in self pity and we have no clue what is going on in her mind. She yells at the black man at her desk after she is back and, also proceeds to make out with that man at an office party. She stares at Asian little kids and then collects apple seeds. 

We don't know what we are privy to, in this film, this aftermath of a death of a baby. We don't know what the characters are up to, each one a bigger asshole than the other. We don't know why the mother has closed up to a loving relationship and why we have to watch her behave like the way she does. 

Mothers lose babies in childbirth, in miscarriage, in the first few months of their children's births all over the world. The number one killer of women still remains childbirth. Women all over the world , so many, don't have control over how many babies they will make, don't have access to good quality health care, don't have rights to abortion and so on. These conditions exist for American women, too. 

Apparently the greatest athlete ever, an American African women, shared her experiences of the American medical system during the birth of her own child. Where is that fucking story? 

Instead we have this highly privileged bratty fucking film about privileged white people who chose to have a home birth instead and then fall apart when things don't go well. They split apart. They are bribing each other. They are having affairs. They are shouting at co-workers. 

Whose story is this? Who is going to weep over this? Who will be changed by this film? Who knows. But I was more or less disgusted by this film.
