Martha Marcy May Marlene

If you have seen Red State directed by the amazing Kevin Smith, and thought maybe this cult flick is indy enough to become a "cult flick" then watch Marcy Mary Macey Martha May Milly Molly Mandy Marlene and think again!  It makes Red State look in your face Hollywood.


Whilst watching it I was not sure whether it was captivating or boring, but figured I wasnt asleep so it must be captivating.  To be fair, debut feature-length direction from Sean Durkin is mesmerizing.  The sound and light were used to convey emotion, envoking unnerving inexplicable feelings.


A lady actually stopped on the way out and turned to say that was spooky wasn't it?  Almost questioning whether she should have been spooked by it.  It will definitely stir your emotions.


The lead character, Miss MMMMMMM, is played by the simply stunning, Elizabeth Olsen, the extremely underated and unrecognised younger sister of the famous Olsen twins.  By a mile she is more talented than both of them put together.  Watch just for her performance.


However, bare in mind, it also it the only film, EVER (that I have been to see anyway), that at the end the entire audience simultanously went WHAT?  Despite this it was a satisfying ending, no other would have fit.  Be prepared to deliberate with your fellow viewers how to interprete  the ending.
