Martha

First of all let me tell that I might be a little biased because the director Raphaël Dethier is a friend of mine. Nevertheless my reviews are always as honest as possible. So I will review this movie like I always do like I didn't know him. In this short drama you can follow the life of Martha (played by Carine Bouquillon) and her son Thomas (played by Jérémie Petrus). Both play their role brilliantly. The son as a possessive adolescent and the mother as a woman on her own to raise her son. She has some questions about things that happened to her. The storyline is intriguing, even though that isn't easy to do in a short movie because you only have a short amount of time to make your story believable and entertaining. I really enjoyed this movie and I can only recommend it to everybody.

A single mother, Martha. His son, Thomas, terribilistic, egocentric, familiar teenager out of authority of father.

The first scenes sugest a sort of gaslight of son against his mother. When she becomes pregnant, the things are more than clear. And the images of death of father, said by Thomas, first, to little boy, than to drink mate are the good instrument for define his portrait.

Smart crafted tension, admirable acting, the hope about mistake figuering the final of film and the confirmation who represents more than an Oedipian episode.

In essence, a film about loneliness and insecurity of both main characters.
