The Strange Love of Martha Ivers poster

A very talkative thriller, sporting extremely overstated performances and lots of classic drama (which includes the very explicit styling of the film). If you like classic Hollywood there may be something for you here, I struggled from the very first scene and never even really got into the film.

Read all

The young Martha Ivers can't get along with her aunt. When her aunt comes after Martha's cat, she retaliates and her aunt ends up dead at the bottom of the stairs. There are two other witnesses, but Martha flees the premises and starts a new life. 18 years later, they all meet again, and it's clear that there's still a lot of unresolved history between them.

Crooked dialogues and bad acting ruin the opening scene, though it doesn't really improve later on. The cinematography is bland, the score is overly dramatic and the plot isn't all that interesting. At almost two hours long, the film also greatly outstays its welcome. For niche audiences only.
