Obviously, I liked this film more than most. I found it touching and
well acted. And it had a realistic character who is quite frustrating
to watch, even with her therapist. I also felt her insecurity when the
charming Italian shows up. A chick flick? Believe it or not, men
sometimes feel insecure and threatened, too. Moreover, the
actors had a chance to really journey through an "arc", ending up at
a place different from where they began. That doesn't happen in
most films. Finally, if you see "Martha" and don't love it, I suggest
you watch it a second time, with your eyes closed. Listen to Paulo
Conti. He's incredible! If nothing else, the film introduced me to
his music, and that alone would be enough.
