Mostly Martha keeps its story character-driven, focusing on personal growth, grief, and relationships rather than using identity politics as a crutch. Characters are developed through compelling arcs rather than being defined solely by their demographic traits. There is virtually no evidence of forced representation or identity-driven messaging.

Family, tradition, and even culinary heritage are respected and explored thoughtfully. While Martha is a strong female protagonist, the film doesn’t mock masculinity or traditional values. Religion and culture are presented as enriching, rather than being undermined or subverted for modern ideological purposes.

There’s little sign of ideological monoculture here. Worldviews are explored through different cultural backgrounds, German and Italian characters interplay without obvious bias. The film doesn’t villainize dissent or tradition, and multiple perspectives are represented without heavy-handed messaging.
