Critic Reviews for Martha
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (1)
You don't have to agree with its premise -- that middle-class marriage equals sadomasochism -- to respond to the bravura comic glee with which the director lays it out.
A horrific black comedy -- a devastating view of bourgeois marriage rendered in a delirious baroque style.
An array of domestic terrors
Acerbic black satire of a bourgeois marriage.
Fassbinder offers up an extremely bleak work here, even for him, but ultimately the film works mainly as the diatribe against marriage that it is.
The ornate sets and colorful camerawork only belie the disturbed nature of this truly sick film.
Audience Reviews for Martha
Wicked! Fassbinder is one of the few directors that can create high comedy instead of melodrama out of a borgeois, sado-masochistic relationship.
