Review of Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) by Enrica C — 08 Nov 2012

One of the most interesting production of 2011. "Martha Marcy May Marlene" is a psychological thriller that will intrigue the viewer till the very end. It's rich of suspance, ambiguity, tension, scare, and realistic moments. Even if only a few personal details are given away throughout the movie, the viewer will still manage to fill up the blanks and get a personal picture.

I personally enjoyed the movie. It's something fresh, different that keeps on making me wonder... It's really silent, but not boring. It takes the time needed to set the right mood for the next scene, to make you feel unconfortable and disturbed as Martha should feel. The ending is very ambiguous, and given Martha's state of mind I'd say we can be sure of only a few things we saw in the movie. "Martha Marcy May Marlene" is a jewel, it's brilliantly executed, written, and acted -- Not perfect, but absolutely recommended.
