Hmmm, three out of four films this month start with "M."
"Martha" is her name. "Marcy May" is the name given to her by the leader of a cult group. "Marlene" is the name all the women in the group use to answer the telephone.
After two years, Martha escapes the cult and has nowhere to run but to the home of her sister, Lucy and her husband Ted. Although she is welcome, Lucy and Ted have no idea what Martha has been through or how to help her. As we learn of her life with the cult, and see the damage Martha still carries, we begin to wonder where her past ends and her life begins in this taut psychological thriller.
As the awards season is in full swing, look for buzz for Elizabeth Olsen, the non-twin, for her amazing performance as Martha March May Marlene.
