Martha Marcy May Marlene

(2011)

A young woman escapes from a weird cult in the country and goes to live with her rather uptight sister in her huge house while she figures things out. I’ll give any decent movie half an hour to draw me in. At the thirty-first minute I realized I just wasn’t interested in seeing the rest. Don’t take this as a negative review. It’s like Winter’s Bone, I guess. I just wasn’t in the mood for this sort of thing. Many reviewers liked it, and you may, too.
