If you are near a theater that receives the special “select theater” films, go check out “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” the breakout indie hit directed by Sean Durkin and starring Elizabeth Olsen, the younger sister of the Olsen twins.
Rolling Stone featured a special exclusive video about the film, which includes the song that inspired the film, “Marcy’s Song,” sung by John Hawkes, who also stars in the film. You can click here to view the video, or scroll below the post to see the embedded video.
“Martha Marcy May Marlene” tells the story of a young woman who is trying to reassimilate with her family after running away from a cult. While going to the process of reorienting her self with family life, she faces her paranoia and disturbing memories. Aside from Olsen and Hawkes, the film also stars Christopher Abbott, Brady Corbet, Hugh Dancy, Maria Dizzia, Julia Garner, Louisa Krause and Sarah Paulson. “Martha Marcy May Marlene”–as well as Olsen’s performance–has been lauded by critics, and Durkin has received the Sundance Film Festival’s Directing Award for a dramatic film and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize for a dramatic film.
