Another stellar debut emerges from the Festival Circuit in writer/director Sean Durkin’s “Martha Marcy May Marlene” starring Elizabeth Olsen (The Olsen Twins cooler, younger sister). The cast includes John Hawkes (“Winter’s Bone,” “Me and You and Everyone We Know”) and Sarah Paulson (“Deadwood,” “American Gothic”).
The dramatic thriller portrays Martha (Olsen) in the short weeks after fleeing from a cult on a farm in the Catskills. While finding sanctuary with her yuppie sister, her 2 year disappearance mounts tensions amongst disturbing flashbacks from her experience. Check out my full review of the film: ‘Martha Marcy May Marlene’ Colorado Premiere.
