I don't usually do this, but I figured I'd do a little mini-review/recommendation of the movie I just watched with my mom, Martha Marcy May Marlene. Starring the SERIOUSLY gorgeous and amazingly talented Elizabeth Olsen, the movie tells the story of a girl who escapes from a cult and deals with the aftermath (in so many words). It's one of the most memorable, jarring, kind of disturbing but completely enthralling films that I've seen in a loooong time. On top of that, it's gorgeous to look at--the simple white clothes on the cult members, the setting in upstate New York and Connecticut, and of course the leading lady. I highly recommend.
