Review of Mostly Martha (2001) by Sammiejo L — 16 Jul 2007
This is the most charming movie I have seen in a long time. It was very linear as far as foreign films go so if you want a very twisty, R Rated (as this is a PG film) foreign film this isn't it. What you get here is a great character development/study, a wonderful love story, and to watch a person who desperately needs to break out of her self-constructed cage.
..Well anyway...Martina Gedeck plays the marvelous Martha, a woman/cook who is very stuck in her ways and needs a few things to shake up her world a bit before she actually decides to smell the coffee as it were.
You are able to watch this character blossom utilizing the vehicles of therapy and food to convey changes in character. Don't be surprised if you get REALLY hungry watching this film (much as you might if you were to be watching the incredible film, "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman).
This is a wonderful movie and will leave you feeling just right.
