Martha

An admirable crafted story about loneliness, motherhood, an accident and the perception of reality. Impressive embroidery of storytelling. And just inspired atmosphere. Short, precious nice surprise for the grace and delicacy of exploration of teen universe, a not comfortable possibility and the clash between worlds.

Redundancy can either be gotten used to or turn into annoyance. While Martha (2019) is reminiscent of the mundanity brought by isolation and repeating routines on the daily, a lone voice message as the only source of social connection can be maddening. So much so that it gave a riveting storyline from beginning to end, with "context clues" scattered about various scenes to piece together the present mystery. Martha (2019) was despondent in that we may never be aware of how our actions ripple to affect others- even those we don't notice for we stay engrossed, deceptively alone, as if last people on Earth.
