"A huge hit at Sundance, Martha Marcy May Marlene has continued to wow festival audiences at Cannes, New York and Toronto. Wide release should extend first-time feature director Sean Durkin's winning streak: This psychological suspenser cum horror movie fairly pulses with cumulative dread, teasing our nerve endings with scrabbling spider feet of unease until we lose any sense of existential equilibrium. But it's the searing intensity of Elizabeth Olsen's performance, as a bruised young woman with many names and a dearth of identity, that assures Martha Marcy May Marlene standing among the best films of 2011."
