Martha Marcy May Marlene (15)

Martha is an enigma. Stealing away from the farm community she’s been living in, she makes a break for her uptight sister’s lakeside house, seeking refuge. But with an inability to conform to social norms, particularly sexual propriety, details of her experiences – both wonderful and traumatic – start to seep through.

With the title marking the various names our lead character goes by, it is a film about a divided self, and one that may not have been fully formed to begin with. Elizabeth Olsen – the hitherto unknown sister of tween stars Mary-Kate and Ashley – thrills with an astonishing performance as the damaged Martha in a film that eschews cliché and questions both the rural cult and the conservative normality represented by her sister and brother-in-law.
