Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) movie review


Cast:   Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson, John Hawkes & Hugh Dancy
Director and Writer: Sean Durkin
Running Time:







The movie is about girl named Martha, who is called by two other names Marcy May and Marlene showed in her past memories. The plot shows  young woman Martha suffering from delusions and paranoia after returning back to her family which involves a sister (Lucy) from an abusive cult in the Catskill Mountains. And shows how her past memories is still haunting her that affects the life of her sister who cares her very much and sister's husband.


 As the story moves the past memories from the cult haunts Martha's mind which is showed in flashback very impressively. At starting these memories seems like her past but as the movie goes ahead slowly this thing doesn't concern you neither writer of the movie. And you kept guessing that was the memories are from past or just a imagination of mind. But i think it was from the past.


There are many scenes in the movie which leaves you wanting more and the movie shows no answers to such thing that why did this happened.




There is a open ending in the movie which is on your interpretation. But Yeah the screenplay and story are the unusual and more realistic.


The performance of Elizabeth Olsen is one thing to look out in this movie, which makes the scenes and movie more realistic just then the work of imagination. And this all keeps with you after the movie finishes. I think thats the sole purpose of making this kind of movie.




If you likes to see something really unusual on screen then this is a good watch for you, otherwise this one will leave you disappointed, tiresome, wanting more glimpse of her past and more from the climax.

RATING: 6/10
