The opening 20-minute birth scene took two days and six takes to shoot.
As Vanessa Kirby has never given birth in real life, she watched numerous documentaries and videos and shadowed midwives in a hospital in North London and even was allowed to be in a room with a woman who was giving birth.
After obtaining and reading the script, Vanessa Kirby flew to Budapest to express her admiration for the script to screenwriter Kata Wéber and director Kornél Mundruczó. She desperately wanted to play Martha because of the challenge of acting out an experience so unfamiliar to her. Mundruczó and Wéber were taken by Kirby's charisma, which reminded them of the European movie stars of old, and signed her on as Martha. They also stated that as soon as they announced it, the movie's budget was lowered because of Kirby's lack of starpower at the time.
Despite featuring one of the longest delivery scenes ever in film, director Kornél Mundruczó stated that they still sort of cheated reality by squeezing the entire emotional roller coaster of a 10- to 12-hour delivery into a 23-minute scene.
Out of six takes that were shot for the opening birth scene, it was the fourth take that was used in the final product.
"Elizabeth: And I'm ashamed of me. That I wasn't a good enough mother to teach you how to stand up and speak for yourself, for God's sakes. And to deal with this. Like my mother taught me. After my father went into the ghetto, my mother found a shack, an empty shack, that she went into and gave birth to me. Without any help at all. She stashed me under the floorboards when she had to go out and steal food. So she could make milk enough to keep me alive, but just alive. Not strong enough to cry, or we'd be caught. When she finally got me to a doctor, he advised her to just let me go. That I wasn't... I wasn't strong enough to survive. But when she absolutely insisted, he picked me up by my feet and held me up like a chicken and said, "If she tries to lift her head, then there's hope." And you know what I did, Martha? I lifted my head. That's what I'm asking you to do now. Lift your head and fight for yourself, for God's sakes! Go out there and face that woman."
"Lane: Yes, how did you feel holding your baby you had just given birth to? Martha: She smelled like an apple."
