Vanessa Kirby on the cover of Esquire UK January/February 2021.

To promote her new film 'Pieces Of A Woman', Vanessa Kirby covers the January/February 2021 issue of Esquire UK - photographed by Tom Craig and styled by Bay Garnett.

On feeling like there is a strong desire for complex and three-dimensional female characters in film today, Kirby expresses: “I’m really excited by that. There are so many stories about women that haven’t been told. And it’s not about putting a woman in a male role and her playing the equivalent of the masculine alpha. Which I also can’t identify with. I don’t feel like I recognise that person, this invincible woman. I want to see women who are humans. I want to see those really raw, big journeys that [female characters] used to have. I really feel that’s my mission, to play a part in bringing that back.”
