According to the film festival, "Good luck finding another feature-length debut this year as startlingly assured as Sean Durkin’s MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE. This masterfully wrought psychological drama concerns a troubled young woman who flees an upstate New York cult and seeks refuge in the quiet home of her sister and sister’s husband. Durkin boldly floats between past and present, lodging viewers firmly inside Martha’s troubled mind. Featuring a magnetic performance by newcomer Elizabeth Olsen, as well as standout supporting turns from Sarah Paulson and John Hawkes, Durkin’s haunting thriller is one of the finest American films of 2011."

Run Time: 120 minutes
