Yeah, it looks interesting for sure. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it. Thanks for posting.

Funny that that's the Olsen Twins little sister.

Looks like John Hawkes might get his second nomination in as many years. Good for him.

Oh so she's the one that got the actual talent in the family.

She's definitely the better looking sister. Also, she gets nekkid in this flick.

Saw this last night at the NYFF. Great film, and interesting cinematography and editing. The filmmakers execute really well on confusing the audience (even if only momentarily) on whether something is happening in the present or the past. I think the ending will also start a lot of discussions.

In the Q&A afterwards, Hawkes mentioned that he was the one asked to do this part (Olsen was the only one who auditioned). He said he didn't want to do a cult movie initially; he gets offers at least once a year to do a Manson biopic.

Recommended.

No hard to see why... great actor though.

I've seen it too, and I really liked it. Olsen gives a fantastic performance.

Saw this one tonight. Olsen is pretty good, and well, if you want to see Olsen boobs and butt, this is the movie for that.

The cult stuff was pretty creepy.

John Hawke's haunting performance of "Marcy's Song" from the film is now online.

I wish it played in more places

It seems there is almost no interest in this. Comes out on DVD/Blu next month, have it at the top of my rental queue.

Elizebeth Olsen looks like the prettier sister of Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Agreed. Her sisters have all the money, but she has all the talent, looks and body.

I've been waiting on this one so I'm definitely interested.

This was a hell of of a film. Well directed, some good actors, too.

I didn't find it all that confusing, like some have, but I'm still not exactly sure what happened in the final scene of the film.


And yes, Liz Olsen is a beautiful girl. Never thought I'd see one of the Olsen sisters with an actual woman's body. :D

It's ambiguous on purpose, I think.

Spoiler:
Is she still being pursued by the cult and will the guy in the truck run them off the road, kill the sister/husband, and bring her back to the 'family'? Or is it all in her head and she's finally escaped, but needs ridiculous amounts of therapy to get past the trauma?

Yeah, that was my take on it, too.

Spoiler:
It's probably all really in her head, and is meant to illustrate she is probably going to be paranoid about the cult for the rest of her life. But since the movie is told from her POV and she is an "unreliable narrator," we as the audience aren't meant to be certain as to what is real or imagined.

I loved the movie as well, it does a great job capturing paranoia. The director does try to confuse the audience but it's not a bad thing, it allows you to see the world through the protagonist's eyes. John Hawkes is hypnotic, I can't believe he didn't get major awards hype.

Re: MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE (2011) (dir. Durken) (Elizabeth Olsen, John Hawkes)
 
I don't think the cult finds her at any point, even if they were looking for her. The suggestion is all in her head, imo.
