Martha Marcy May Marlene Blu-Ray Review



Synopsis: In her stunning feature film debut, Elizabeth Olsen delivers "an electrifying, star-is-born performance" (Rolling Stone) in this gripping psychological thriller that is "far and away one of the year's best" (Associated Press)! After escaping from a dangerous cult and the watchful eye of its charismatic leader (Academy Award(R) Nominee John Hawkes), a young woman named Martha (Olsen) tries to reclaim a normal life with her family. But the haunting memories from Martha's past trigger a chilling paranoia - and nowhere seems safe as the fragile line between her reality and delusions begin to blur.

Review: If you or someone that you love was exposed to life in a cult, how would the aftermath be?  How do you return to society after a traumatic experience?  This film introduces the youngest Olsen sister as the ex-victim of a disturbing cult.  The dual story shows her experiences in the cult and her recovery with her sister.  This one is rather emotional and definately a fantastic drama.

The special features on this blu-ray include: Featurettes, Trailers, Languages: English, French and Spanish; Subtitles: English and Spanish; "Mary Last Seen", "Spotlight on Elizabeth Olsen", "The Story", "The Making of 'Martha Marcy May Marlene'", "A Conversation with Filmmakers", "The Psyche of a Cult", "Marcy's Song" Music Video by John Hawkes.
