Review of Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) by Dominic S — 30 Dec 2012
Very serious drama starring Elizabeth Olsen (the best of the three sisters) as a 20 something year old girl who escaped from an abusive (secret) cult to be comforted in the arms of her newlywed sister. Olsen's character keeps having haunting flashbacks and getting confused as if they are happening at that same time. It gets worse and the subject of therapy comes up.
This film is dark and creepy. Elizabeth Olsen does a great job in her debut film.
I never understood where "Marlene" came from.
Martha Marcy May Marlene, I give you a 80%.
