Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)

Director:Sean Durkin
Writer:   Sean Durkin
Cast:      Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson, John Hawkes
Haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, a damaged woman struggles to re-assimilate with her family after fleeing an abusive cult.

It is a very well made film but is not for everyone. Have seen criticism about its ending as it lacks resolution and at the beginning as to why Martha was not forcibly taken back. I interpreted as, they want her to come back by herself and they just want to track her whereabouts in the end. There is not much point in analyzing Martha's actions as she is not in a so called 'Normal State'.

Rating: 4/5
