Lots of tropes and stereotypes at play here, but Gedeck and Castellitto (and presumably Nettelbeck in her direction) transcend these to deliver a surprisingly meaningful commentary on desire (of the sensual form) and its (self) denial.

It's a film that must rely only on story and characters, and MOSTLY MARTHA's characters are so finely drawn, you'll almost forget you're watching a movie.

Very sweet. German, blunt, well done. Feels both authentic and believable but also has the edge of drama and theatricalness that makes it engaging to watch. Skip the re-make unless you want to make it a double feature.
