Review of Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) by Eugene_Skala — 27 Oct 2011
This movie is remarkable for it's ability to describe the garden variety psychological flashback that survivors of psychological trauma experience. The main character Martha can't always tell the past from the present, and to free herself from the disturbing confusion, usually responds to present situations with the kind of inappropriate behavior that she learned and was encouraged to use while she belonged to a cult.
The cult is creepy, no argument there, but the eerie tone of the movie comes from our own our vicariously experiencing Martha's flashbacks.
