- Actual film released in 2011
A movie about an escapee from a cult sound like a fun idea for an outing at the cinema? You answered no, well the correct answer is yes as Martha Marcy May Marlene is fasciantating, at times terrorfying and for the entire film I was on the edge of my seat with tension building and building throughout the film.
Martha Marcy May Marlene is not for everyone but after eating at a kinda cult cafe yesterday in Katoomba this movie made me think, this could happen anywhere. The young lead Elizabeth Olsen was flawless as this terrified and slightly fucked up youth who disappeared from life and then out of nowhere has bounced back into her sister and her husbands perfect life.
The movie creates such great tension through it's flashbacks and it's present day story telling method with Martha just always ready to snap and about to completely lose it.
This movie is a small film but simply brillant, 4 stars.
