A cena do parto é uma das mais impressionantes e intensas que assisti nos últimos anos. Acredito que tenha exigido um grande trabalho para coreografar todos os movimentos, causando uma sintonia espetacular das atuações com a direção e o jogo de câmera. Mas, essa cena de abertura te leva para um nível que você não irá visitar novamente. Caindo gradativamente, até chegar em um ato final que se estabelece no satisfatório. Porém, tenha certeza de que Vanessa Kirby não fará você tirar os olhos dela enquanto ela estiver em cena atuando, mesmo que o roteiro tente sabotá-la às vezes. E, claro, é ótimo ver a icônica Ellen Burstyn de "Requiem for a Dream", "The Exorcist" e tantos outros clássicos em cena mais uma vez. Deslumbrante, como de costume.… Expand

Opens on one of the most powerful long takes in recent memory, but not even the masterful performances by Kirby and Burstyn could save the dry 2nd and 3rd acts. Resolution felt incomplete. Kirby elevates an otherwise tough sit.

A Consuming Film. Not just time-consuming. But soul-consuming and energy-consuming. In the wrong way.
Shia LaBeouf and Vanessa Kirby were great but No. This is not a fantastic film, and It has some severe problems, especially in storytelling.

It reminded me of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, although the focus on loss is entirely on the role and outstanding performance of Vanessa Kirby.

Shia LaBeouf does a good job too, although I think this will be the last film we will see him in for a long time.

Personally, I think it's a competent enough drama, but hardly the amazing drama that many critics have called it to be, and certainly the film can't respond with better results to its own pretensions.

Is it worth it? Yes, but I think its critical success has led to misconceptions and misguided expectations about its overall quality.… Expand

Tiresome movie. Nothing special, nothing new. It's the epitome of lacking fantasy.

Abstract Español

Al terminar Fragmentos de una mujer me pregunté: ¿qué se propusieron contarme y decirme el director Kornél Mundruczó y su esposa, la guionista Kata Weber con esta película? ¿una historia sobre los efectos de la pérdida y los mecanismos del duelo, entre otros temas?
Luego de su efectista y (demasiado) prolongada secuencia inicial en tiempo real, el problema de esta película es que no logra traducir adecuadamente todos su tópicos y conflictos en términos dramáticos a través de personajes y de una historia que evolucionen y conmuevan y cuyos elementos se ensamblen y complementen. Además, la estructura fragmentaria del relato, que recurre a la elipsis en forma sistemática, tampoco contribuye a la conexión del espectador; de ahí, en parte, el nombre de “Fragmentos”. Ni siquiera las actuaciones (tan “oscarizables”) me resultaron descollantes.

English Abstract

At the end of Fragments of a Woman I asked myself: what did the director Kornél Mundruczó and his wife, the screenwriter Kata Weber, set out to tell me about with this film? A story about the effects of loss and the mechanisms of grief, among other topics?

After its gimmicky and (too) long opening sequence in real time, the problem with this film is that it fails to adequately translate all its topics and conflicts in dramatic terms through characters and a story that evolve and move and whose elements are Assemble and complement. Furthermore, the fragmentary structure of the story, which uses ellipsis in a systematic way, does not contribute to the viewer's connection either; hence, in part, the name "Fragments." Not even the performances (so “Oscar-winning”) were outstanding to me.

Reseña Español
Esta vez, en lugar de comenzar por una reseña argumental, debo preguntarme ¿qué se propusieron decirme el director Kornél Mundruczó y su esposa, guionista Kata Weber con esta película?
Uno podría responder: relatarnos una historia sobre los efectos de la pérdida en la agudización de los contrastes de un matrimonio, sobre la negación como mecanismo de defensa, sobre el duelo como mandato o imposición, sobre la ética del resarcimiento, sobre las diferencias de clase en una pareja, sobre las nuevas modas obstétricas, sobre las madres manipuladoras, sobre las mujeres y sus cuerpos gestantes, sobre la culpa juedocristiana… todo como correlato de una (demasiado) extensa y efectista escena inicial (que generará ríos de admiración en parte del público) filmada en plano secuencia y que si aspira a golpear al espectador, hará que decaiga algo su interés por el resto del relato de en aquéllos que sean alcanzados por su (supuesta) dureza.

El problema de esta película es que no logra traducir adecuadamente todos esos tópicos y conflictos (si es que se trata de todos ellos) en términos dramáticos a través de personajes y de una historia que evolucionen y conmuevan y cuyos elementos se ensamblen y complementen. Además, la estructura fragmentaria del relato, que recurre a la elipsis en forma sistemática, tampoco contribuye a la conexión del espectador; de ahí, en parte, el nombre de “Fragmentos”. Ni siquiera las actuaciones me resultaron descollantes.
Personalmente, entonces, me ha resultado imposible empatizar con sus personajes, salvo algunos pocos momentos con la protagonista (Vanessa Kirby) y detestar un poco a su pareja (el sobreactuado Shia LaBoeuf)

to be honest i wasn't planning on watching this movie. the only reason i did was because of vanessa kirby's oscar nomination, but i must admit the directing and editing was really good.

i feel like this would have been a really good courtto be honest i wasn't planning on watching this movie. the only reason i did was because of vanessa kirby's oscar nomination, but i must admit the directing and editing was really good.

i feel like this would have been a really good court room drama with the other plot points spread throughout the film.

p.s: they said MARTHA! in this way more times than in Batman v. Superman.… Expand
