A new riveting spot for Martha Marcy May Marlene

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

There are few films coming out of the festival circuit that I’ve heard more good things about than MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE, and hopefully we’re going to see a wider release of it pretty soon here.

We’ve seen trailers, clips and posters so far, but in my estimation, this new UK spot via Empire is the best paced look at the film yet, and one that has an inescapable sense of dread to it.

The film stars third Olson Twin (err, younger sister rather) Elizabeth Olson as the four-named titular girl who gets wrapped up in a dangerous backwoods cult led by WINTER’S BONE’s John Hawkes.
