Watch Martha Marcy May Marlene For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very disappointing...

Absolutely the worst movie.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

I just finished watching this movie and felt compelled to write down my thoughts.Its been a while since I've watched a movie that made me feel this way. I'm not angry but I feel something close to it. This movie is a flaming pile of fecal matter. The only good thing about it is that you get to see Elizabeth Olsen naked and you know there's a problem if nudity is the only thing going for a movie.I watched this because I like Olsen and her other movie Silent House. Here, the acting and production quality are fine, but the story has absolutely nothing going for it. Having likable characters isn't a necessity, but there has to be at least one or more characters that have something about them that makes you want to keep watching. It isn't just the main character with this movie; none of these characters are likable or compelling in any way. At first, I felt sympathy for Martha but not for long.I get it, certain people can get brainwashed by these cult-like groups and it's an unfortunate situation but Olsen and her gang weren't just weak and ignorant; they were also pretentious, self-entitled, and so unlikable that I kept thinking, why am I watching this? They went well beyond the definition of sheeple. And the ending was the toilet clogging after pinching out this giant loaf. If it wasn't for Olsen, I would have turned this off well before the ending but I was definitely getting there.

Basically I only watched this film because of Elizabeth Olsen who is the youngest sister of well known twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I honestly wouldn't know the rest of the cast in this but she was the only one I knew in this, she did a good job however this really is one of her movies that is the worst I've seen. Why you ask?The movie dragged on and I just couldn't understand why her character left her family. Was it because of her boyfriend or was it because of their beliefs? That was what I couldn't understand of. I mean, it should give us a better clue then have us viewers confused and wondering the whole time of the reason? This movie is pretty much a waste of time really!

Yes, it could have been the cult coming after her and yes they might have forced or coerced her to return or killed them all but it could also have been no more than some stranger that they almost hit and the rest could be Martha's intensifying paranoia constructing what we were seeing.The goal though was to get the audience to ask these questions but I think Durkin failed in defining the intent of posing this question which was to illustrate Martha's own confusion and uncertainty about her paranoia, not the audience's confusion about what happened. I could possibly suggest that he use a tighter close up on Olsen to capture the nuances of her expressions showing her fear and uncertainty but I think he tried to use a different tactic...Note that at times of her most paranoid, she is visually alone in the scenes. In the back of the car we don't see Ted and Lucy in the front seat. At the dinner party she is alone with the bartender despite the fact that there were dozens of people nearby. During her final swim she is alone when she sees the man sitting across the lake watching her. Even when she awakes in a panic and pushes Ted down the stairs we don't see his face or Lucy until after the fact. When she breaks the window on the black SUV, when she hears the pine cones hitting her window at night... she is alone.I think we as an audience just weren't offered a way to tie our own questions with Martha's state of mind. Maybe if there was a scene in which Martha asks these same questions to Lucy. Maybe if they shot from a first-person perspective. I don't know but it just didn't quite work for me.

With "Martha Marcy May Marlene", there's a pervasive sense of foreboding right out of the gate. I really wanted to know what happened to Martha at that cult farm. But the bigger question that nagged throughout the movie (which is never really answered) is what drove her there in the first place? That's what was so frustrating because the movie offered very little in the way of answers. And the flip-flopping between past and present got old rather quickly. Alas, aside from Elizabeth Olsen's terrifically haunting performance, it's the frustration that sticks with me more than anything else. While this movie is great at setting the eerie vibe and leaving one completely unnerved, it's not one that I particularly want to revisit.5/10
