The Synopsis:
"Martha Marcy May Marlene stars Elizabeth Olsen as Martha, a damaged woman haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, who struggles to reassimilate with her family after fleeing a cult."
The movie is billed as a thriller. Hmm, thriller, I don't know. Creepy, definitely, but mostly in a psychological sense. It is very intense. The performances are amazing. Elizabeth Olsen is mind blowing. There isn't a ton of dialogue (or action) so the fact that you are so drawn in so quickly is a testament to her (and the writers/directors, etc).
Would I recommend it? I don't know. If you're open to interesting movies with less-than-conventional narrative, absolutely. If you're looking for someone more tradition and/or mainstream you might be disappointed. I certainly wasn't though.
