Martha Marcy May Marlene

An unsatisfying cliffhanger ending punctuates this compelling, intense, well-acted, psychological thriller in which a paranoid, traumatized, secretive woman (Elizabeth Olsen) runs away from the charismatic, creepy cult leader (John Hawkes) and his brainwashed disciples (Louisa Krause, Christopher Abbott, Maria Dizzia, Julia Garner, Brady Corbet, Tobias Segal, Lauren Molina, Louisa Braden Johnson, et al.) living at a remote communal farm in the Catskill Mountains and tries to reclaim her identity and to get back to a life of normalcy when she seeks help from her guilt-ridden, estranged sister (Sarah Paulson) and skeptical architect brother-in-law (Hugh Dancy).
