A Woman, a Part (2017)

In the pulsating rhythm of Hollywood's glitz and glamour, we meet Anna Baskin, a 44-year-old celebrated actress shackled by the repetition of her successful yet uninspiring television role. Her life, devoid of spontaneity, is a meticulously rehearsed script, and she yearns for authenticity. In a quest to rediscover herself, Anna courageously steps away from the blinding spotlights and plunges into the familiar yet distant world of her past in New York. Yet, the echoes of her profession still reverberate within her as she struggles to untangle her identity from her career. When a personal betrayal thrusts her into the most challenging role of her life, Anna is forced to navigate through the labyrinth of past relationships, shedding light on the obscured paths to her future. Enfolded within this intimate exploration of Anna's life are her friendships with Isaac and Kate, which magnify the broader themes embedded in the film. These include the relentless march of gentrification, the eroding forces of addiction and autoimmune disease, the suffocating veil of burnout, the entrenched sexism within the film industry, and the relentless commodification of self in the 21st century. 'A Woman, a Part' is a riveting narrative, bridging personal and societal struggles, bound to leave the audience pondering long after the reel ends.
