The film that won the ‘Best Actress Award’ at the 93rd Academy Awards is unique in that Martin Scorsese served as the Executive Producer. This film is a simple, delicate story with a family background. The story revolves around a young woman who deeply cherishes motherhood. After giving birth to a child, the baby dies under unforeseen circumstances, and the woman’s mother accuses a midwife of being responsible for the death. This accusation leads to a courtroom drama, which causes significant turmoil in the young woman’s life.
The scenes between the mother, daughter, husband, and the midwife are intricately woven together, elevating the emotional intensity of the drama. The film shows that regardless of the chosen narrative, it must be told with honesty and suspense to engage the audience fully. These elements are present throughout the story.
Creative writers need to draw inspiration from contemporary societal issues, and their ability to select and respond to these issues elevates their work. The reason this family-centered story resonates with everyone is that it takes the audience on an emotional journey. The raw material for this story is the emotions experienced by every mother who gives birth. This might be one of the finest dramas presented to the audience in recent times.”
