Martins strikes a delicate balance that’s unusually satisfying from a narrative perspective. It’s refreshing to witness characters grow outside the traditional beats of most American dramas. There is an abundance of heroes’ journeys in waking up every day and pushing past surviving to thriving. Read full review

Dreams are incubators for dissatisfaction, Martins seems to sigh. Read full review

Though they never call much attention to themselves, the expertly illuminated frames of cinematographer Leonardo Feliciano (“Araby”) paint the ensemble cast with purposeful and aesthetically pleasing lighting. Read full review

Some not great things happen in Mars One. And there is agony. But there are also the good things done in response that keep families like these soldiering on. Read full review

The film is quiet, deliberate and low-key, and some may find it underwhelming, but writer-director Gabriel Martins has a novelist’s feel for his characters, taking us under everybody’s skin with deep sympathy for their differing outlooks. Read full review

It’s quite simple in structure, simply sublime in execution. Read full review

O caçula da família tem o desejo de ser um astronauta e participar de um projeto da Nasa para colonização de Marte, o tal Marte um, daí o título da película.
Marte um foca acertadamente nos detalhes e na rotina dos quatro (o casal de pais, a filha e o filho), e consegue surpreendentemente balançear as histórias, todas com sua importância para a trama: o pai que trabalha limpando piscinas em um prédio de luxo e se deixa levar pelo papo de um amigo de trabalho que o passa para trás; a mãe que acumula funções pesadas e se vê diante de uma crise de ansiedade, chegando mesmo a cogitar sumir por um tempo (é emocionante o desfecho quando ela diz "Tô viva" com muita intensidade; a filha, que é mais adulta, e que se descobre lésbica, tendo que lidar com a aceitação familiar e o peso de criar um novo lar; e, claro, o menino sonhador, que muitas vezes é expectador disso tudo, com um turbilhão de sentimentos consegue nutrir seu sonho.
Marte um é sobre as expectativas e os sonhos que criamos, mas principalmente a vontade de sempre caminhar em frente mesmo diante das adversidades. É um filme de muita sensibilidade. A cena final, dos quatro juntos, mostra a união da família e que, não necessariamente sendo Marte, mas todos buscam o seu lugar no mundo. Lindo.… Expand
