Much praised - but a dud to me---

Martha, MarcyMae, Marlene (2011) Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulsen, Hugh Dancy, John Hawkes. I was disappointed. A confused and disjointed film about paranoia, after leaving a cult, where our heroine has been for 2 years. She somehow manages to find and join her sister and hubby in their retreat home and try to fit in with their friends and lifestyle. Going back and forth between her life in the cult, her escape, finding her sister and beginning a new life; this was a muddle for me. About half way through I no longer cared what happened. That is the directors fault I think. He must have left some of the good stuff on the editing room floor, so to speak. 5/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441326/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
