Review of Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) by Nicholas W — 27 Mar 2012
Elizabeth Olsen proves to be superb in her first outing, bringing a naive and down-to-earth tone to her entire performance and the film as a whole. The film comes off eerie, filled with plenty of paranoia and well placed flashbacks.
John Hawkes steals the show with his creepy yet stable performance as the leader of the commune/cult. Martha Marcy May Marlene spans so many genres, it is hard to pinpoint the one best suited to describe this horror/drama/coming of age/thriller.
