Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)

4 star rating THE Screened Review by Alex Navarro

Terrific performances from Elizabeth Olsen and John Hawkes help solidify this bewildering and terrifying drama.
GB review user review
T. Sean Durkin director

A young woman, Martha May (Elizabeth Olsen), leaves a commune in upstate New York and seeks safe haven with her estranged sister (Sarah Paulson). Through flashbacks, the audience starts to see the reasons for Martha's escape as she slowly becomes mentally unhinged while staying with her sister and brother-in-law.

Martha Marcy May Marlene Trailer

This hit from Sundance features John Hawkes as a domineering cult leader, and Elizabeth Olsen (of the Olsen Twins Olsens) as a girl damaged by his influence. Guess we know where the talent in that family went!
