  • Clue: the ending is before what you think is the ending

  • I watched this movie today it was brilliant! Raised as a jehovah's witness, I can really see how cults take over a person's mind completely. How the mind can become conditioned to accept only those within the inner circle and fall into the trap of thinking these people have total power over your life. The movie builds tension right up to the end. I just now realized it's an Olsen sister. The ending left me hanging, there has to be a sequel.

  • this looks good

  • Wow, years ago Mad Magazine said there was a secret Olsen with talent trapped in the Twin's basement. Glad to see she got out.

  • just watched it last night! soo good, can't wait to see her in "Silent House"

  • It's a week before the Oscars and I still cannot figure out why Elizabeth Olsen and John Hawkes were not nominated for this movie??? It should have been nominated for film editing too. I guess the Academy doesn't like to recognize the most interesting films, only the most profitable ones.

  • mary kate and ashley olsen are jealous somewhere...despite there billions

  • i havent seen it .. is it good ?

  • Great cinematography and seamless use merging of past present and future. The lack of shadow detail and browns in the image was a great way of showing Marceys fractured mind in idyllic surroundings. One of the best and most disturbing films this year although I found the ending abrupt but it did add to the unresolved tension of the protagonist.

  • @sodiumwinter1 Thank you for that, forced and unnecessary critique of basic school level film studies standard

  • A third olsen twin? that can act? and is attractive to where i don't feel like a pervert reminding me of fullhouse? What's going on? I'm so confused.

  • There's nothing "fairly basic" in psychological thrillers. I get what the story stands on, but that's pretty much it.

  • Is it really that hard to remember the title? To me it's always been 4 names that flow well together. Maybe because they all end in different sounds -ah, -see, -ay, -ene. Or maybe it's just my strange fascination with names. But I really want to see this!

  • this film is better than any of the Olsen twins films - as is her performance

  • she is more beautiful her sisters

  • "Shouldn’t the younger sister of child stars- turned-useless-celebutantes be out smashing up Ferraris or partying with tragic A-listers?"

  • me and joan will not see this!!!!!!!!

  • It's really hard for me to get the plot of this movie...

  • @nosferatu122 Are you mentally dysfunctional? If so that should account for why you are having trouble figuring out a fairly basic plot.

  • If you appreciate good movies, this is worth seeing

  • Her voice is deeper than her sisters:0

  • ...I don't get it

  • pish

  • The entire Olsen family must be genetically blessed.

  • whats it about...i dont get it?

    can some one email me what happens?

  • @randomgirl641 try googling it

  • @randomgirl641 she was in a cult and she's struggling with the reality of life well from what I know of it

  • finally, a badass Olsen sibling with some great acting chops!

  • I can't wait to watch this . 4 DAYS LEFT

  • Is this supposed to be based on the Charles Manson cult?

  • Comment removed

  • this looks sick

  • i remembered it as martin marty may

  • Its taking so much brain power to remember the title its untrue.

  • There wasn't even an explanation or usage of the name 'Marlene' in the whole movie. Very disjointed & un-tied together. I'm bummed because otherwise it would have been awesome.

  • @youtuborate Marlene was the name all the women in the cult used when talking to strangers on the phone

  • @AlexaLuvs Thanks for filling me in, I stand corrected. Very perceptive of you to pick that up. :)

  • Great actor! But VERY disappointing in the lack of explanation about the cult's thinking, & VERY frustrating in SO many missing parts of the story. Not the good kind of missing parts that let your imagination fill it in, but major important parts that leave you confused & without a climax. Also very confusing.

  • I will be so upset if she doesn't get an oscar nomination. she was brilliant

  • If I was her, I would be embarrassed to say the Olsen's were my sisters, she has SOO much more talent then them.

  • Amazing movie. fucked up. and crazy. and scary. but amazing.

  • what song is playing towards the end?

  • I didn't understand a thing about this movie, if someone did , please explain.

  • @misuniversal it takes commitment to understand something so deep and meaningful. i love this movie

  • @songsisingforyou I loved it too, Did you understand it though?

  • @misuniversal Basically its about a girl who runs away from a cult and is found by her sis. She can't tell what's real, a memory or a dream, as she thinks the cult is coming back for her. Took me a while to understand it too, but it was worth watching =)

  • what a stupid end.... :/

  • Why the hell did they not just make it the "Olsen Triplets"?

  • I just saw this movie and it's one of two things:

    1) it sucked

    2) I totally missed the sense of the movie and its story

  • @NoisEBomB693 this movie doesn't suck

  • @songsisingforyou then i didn't understand this movie at all

  • this looks so interesting.

  • She looks better than her sisters imho.

  • @PRUDENCE19831 yeah,she didn't do drugs.that makes a big difference.

  • Like if you think that Elizabeth Olsen is the only one who looks hot from the Olsen twins :D

  • @AngelReviewGuy13 She's not an Olsen twin. The twins are Mary Kate & Ashley.

  • @SkitzophrenicNerd but, she the sister of the Olsen Twins, I know there not twins, but she their younger sister, right ?

  • @AngelReviewGuy13 yeah she is.

  • @AngelReviewGuy13 ...So then say "Olsens", not "Olsen twins"...

  • @AngelReviewGuy13 Yes, she is.

  • @AngelReviewGuy13 there was a time the olsen twins were really pretty as well (new york minute/so little time), dunno what happened to them.

  • One of Charles Manson's woman...

  • beauty girl, you can masturbarte perfectly with this movie

  • whats the music in the end?

  • @Gustavo54918 Jackson C. Frank - Marcy's song

  • Where can I watch this?

  • i love the movie!!!

  • where can i see this movie? looks really good i love movies where the main character starts to spiral down into darkness and insanity

  • i think she looks like Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hilary Duff put together...shes super pretty

    btw did anyone see the whole film?..how does it end i stopped watching were her sister was talking her away thats not the ending is it?

  • It's Mary-Kate and Ashleys littlesister Elizabeth Olsen :-D

  • 2025thelastrevolution.blogspot­.com

  • Has anyone seen this? Is it any good?

  • @anditspaganpoetry yeah it's great

  • the way it is is just............ no comment

  • Crap.

  • Just read the screenplay. Pretty creepy, to be honest. Loaded with lots and lots of sex. Wonder if they put as much sex into the film as they did into the screenplay?

  • i was also wondering why Hawkes IS always the creep (i think he's sexy lol) and I was also thinking that Olsen looks more like Gyllenhaal too! IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE

  • boo boo

    the same old story but with new faces nothing deserve to watch . daM

  • THE OLSEN TWINS HAVE A SISTER? When the fuck did that happen???

  • @Preppycat96 1989.

  • @Preppycat96 they have a brother too called james

  • @Preppycat96 youu didnt know they had a sister wow?

  • ugh im in loveeeeee with this

  • very disturbing. i don't watch movies like this. they are of no good to anyone.

  • SO HAPPY THIS TAKES PLACE IN CONNECTICUT!!!! she is such a great actress too- very very excited for this!

  • The movie is about brainwashed people living in community driven by egomaniac/psycho. The story is interesting to tell in order to show that it is not a horror movie plot but a very real and modern way (perversion, manipulation and unaccountability for any action) of communication.

  • thats a far reach to say they all died at the end just from the expression on her face which was obviously from seeing him again

  • At the end they all die in a car "accident".the look on her face just minutes before she died explains it.maybe that's the connection,or love she had that made it- the supreme feeling- happened. for happy people could just be an open ending.

  • woah

  • @1:47 Damn she looks just like her sisters, to the point if you said she was their triplet and I didn't know any better, I'd believe you.

  • How does it ends? I mean, they are in the car back to the city and?

  • @xnewtime And just you wait till you watch the movie. The ending is totally unexpected!

  • @veganf00l But i did, i did and i loved it ! Is when she look out the back of the car the ending?

  • @xnewtime It took me a couple days to full grasp the story and what exactly happened at the end. Love her acting!

  • liz olsen looks like a young sissy spacek, aside from the nose.

  • Maggie Gyllenhaal + Ellen Page = Elizabeth Olsen

  • @lillieslover you're totally right, I definitely saw a bit of Ellen Page in her.

  • Comment removed

  • Elizabeth Olsen is the spitting image of Alexandra Holden! It's uncanny!

  • @Monesiisthebomb I see the resemblance, not spitting image though.

  • Maggie Gyllenhaal and Elizabeth Olsen should be in a movie together as "sisters" :p

  • I love you, Elizabeth Olsen, but I'm worried about your character, Martha Marcy May Marlene. I'm she's all right and she's doing fine.

  • I'm 12 and really want to see this movie, but it's rated R for the sex scenes....how do I convince my mom to let me go?!!

  • @therunawaysfan12 I'm thirteen and I saw it with my mom. During the sex scenes it doesn't show anything but...you know it's happening. You see her butt and her boobs, both just one time. There's one stabbing in it but it lasts for two seconds. The film is really thought-provoking and it's really effective as a psychological thriller. I think it really depends on how mature you are.

  • @mescheveuxestrouge did she do her own nude scenes or have a double?

  • @therunawaysfan12 Tell your mom if she doesnt take you then you'll join a cult.

  • @dkthg XDD Thanks I actually might do that lol

  • this movie seriously sucked so much balls. It was boring from the beginning, the plot got nowhere till the very end. I could see why some people would like this movie, but if your not into slow movies than this movie is like the japanese water torture. Didnt captivate me, didnt evoke me, didnt disturb me, didnt shock me, didnt scare me, didnt make me happy, nor sad. It basically just sucked in my opinion, not to diss anyone who thought it was good...

  • @bertyboy21 -Yes I agree with you..the only thing I liked was E.Olsen. acting but other than that, the movie wasn't as a good as the trailer is. And the ending...I don't want to even think about it lol.

  • @bertyboy21 I hear you, it was definitely differently paced and was either really quick or slow. It makes me wonder why anyone wanted to tell this story....

  • whats the acoustic guitar song called at the end? I need audio of the full version!

  • I just saw this film last night, and I must say that I'm very impressed with her acting. The film was well executed and at times it seemed slow, but it kept a steady pace that allowed the tension to slowly build to an unexpected ending. Watch this movie by all means!

  • no one tells DJ to hit the "like" button

  • an extremly good movie, the ending was crazy!!!

  • I'm addicted to this trailer. A good sign, the best movies always have amazing trailers

  • Watched the movie tonight. It's quite something. Elizabeth Olsen is brilliant. Much better actress than her sisters.

  • Saw the moving tonight.... BORING! (But Olsen was very good in her breakout role)

  • Where's the goddamn ghost... all i see is a woman bitching about her woman problems... Waste of life.

  • @ciberwarrior Nope... that aint the movie. I can say that much.

  • What is it with John Hawkes portraying the creepy backwoods characters?

  • @cinemapsycho91 I dunno, good question. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that he looks JUST LIKE a creepy backwoods dude. Nahhhh. ;)

  • @cinemapsycho91 have you seen him? he looks fucking insane.

  • @Hustlerae Oh, no, he's not insane, just amazingly talented.

  • @cinemapsycho91 'insanely' talented. some might say.

  • @Hustlerae Agreed!!!

  • PS. stupid movie title, sounds like a goddamn nursery rhyme

  • how are people saying she is prettier than her sisters? deff not

  • it seems like John Hawkes does Charles Manson better than Charles Manson ever could...sinister yet charismatic... without the wild eyed madness...a true sociopath. Good stuff.

  • This is the first Movie who's title actually made me lol.

  • So Nice

    

  • The movie sounds nice.Although, when I saw the title,I could only think of the alliteration "She sells seashells by the seashore".

  • @anwyn24 "Marcy's Song" by Jackson C. Frank. It's a tad different from John Hawkes version, but it's still a beautiful and haunting song.

  • what's the guitar song?

  • I can barely say the name of the movie once, but try saying it five times in a row...

  • Ok...so looks like she can act better than her sisters can... that's good news for her! wish her well.

  • I already love Elizabeth. I mean its her 2nd movie and she seemed to KILL IT o.O

    She'll come far in hollywood.

  • Reminds me more of Maggie Gyllenhaal than the twins.

  • @rageneox definitely, even their voices are similar. i hope there's a movie where they play sisters or relatives eventually.

  • Seems like a better actress than her sisters. Hard to tell from just a preview, though.

  • @annagitana1 i agree. everyone who saw this at all the film festivals said she was AMAZING

  • So, it's just a split personality thriller?

  • @moeezS She escaped from a cult so she's trying to re-assimilate to her normal life.

  • @moeezS not at all

  • sin duda una de las mejores peliculas del año elizabeth olsen esta estupenday merece una nominacion al oscar como mejor actriz , olsen is a great actres decerves an oscar nomination for best actress 2012

  • wait, when she's Martha, she's a different person, when she's Marcy May, she's a another person, and when she's Marlene, she's a different person? did i got it right? anyway, awesome movie! i can't wait for it! it looks awesome!!!

  • 3RD....Oh wait, I died 5 years ago

  • nice. elizabeth olsen, she rock much

  • Crap I meant to search that... Anyways this film looks intriguing!

  • Inception

  • dumbest title for a movie ever.

  • @fanpridemore No, it's not. Her name is Martha, she is called Marcy May in the cult and she takes the name Marlene when she comes home. The three become different sides of her in the film. Try understanding something before you make comments like that.

  • WATCHING this at the upcoming TORONTO INTERTNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL this Sept. 2011! I cannot wait!

  • WHAT IS THE SONG WITH THE STRINGS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRAILER?

  • @benwilliams939 It's from the official score by Daniel Bensi. The title is "Collage".

  • Just saw the entire film at Coolidge Corner Brookline, MA theater - what a compelling well designed and executed film. Masterful use filming to achieve the state of mind of a recently 'freed' / escaped / re-entry of a person who has been a member of a cult. Chilling and refreshing look from a young set of experienced eyes. WOnderful interpretation by the actors.

    SUndance DOES present the best movies -

  • Sundance does AT TIMES present the best movies. This one looks really good. I've noticed all Sundance does it mostly accept films with gay themes...what is up with that? I'm tired of seeing the same old gay themes in films...it's like we get it they don't fit in this society but how many times do we need to see that theme in a film? It gets redundant. Films such as Circumstance, La Mission, Gun Hill Road and most recently the docu We Were Here are all gay themes screened at Sundance. Blahhhhhh

  • @watchmanproductions - Are you a homosexual by the way? Because your comment is ignorant. How many countless films have you seen about murder, love, and action? What difference does it make that it's a heterosexual or a homosexual? Stop assuming all these "gay" films are just shoving down the "accept us" speech. If these films disturb you perhaps you should just stick to watching whatever comes out at your local theaters, like Transformers or The Hangover.

  • @watchmanproductions Your ignorance is astounding.

  • hell, I'll join a cult if the leader is John Hawkes

  • I swear sundance presents the best movies

  • It's official. John Hawkes is America's Creepy Uncle.

  • @clownmonkey Haha, very true. He's awesome!

  • ohhhh thats the olsen twin's sister, interesting..............
